Red Bones

I started reading this series after watching the first episode of Shetland on Netflix. I found out it was a book series and decided to start there. The first book “Raven Black” was nothing like the first episode so after reading the second book I thought maybe I could start watching the show. However, this book is finally the case that the first episode focuses on.

I notice a lot of the cases that touch Shetland or the surrounding islands have something to do with something that happened far back in the past. It's as if the residents are so isolated they cannot even escape the mistakes of the ancestors. I ached for Hattie, but what I enjoyed most about this installment was how much time we were in Sandy's head. After two books where he is portrayed as a useless dummy it was nice to see what goes on in his head.
