Summary
When she wangles the job of skippering a Viking longship for a film, Cass Lynch thinks her big break has finally arrived - even though it means returning home to the Shetland Islands, which she ran away from as a teenager.
Then the ‘accidents’ begin - and when a dead woman turns up on the boat’s deck, Cass realises that she, her family and her past are under suspicion from the disturbingly shrewd Detective Inspector Macrae.
Cass must call on all her local knowledge, the wisdom she didn’t realise she’d gained from sailing and her glamorous, French opera singer mother to clear them all of suspicion - and to catch the killer before Cass becomes the next victim.

Good setting: ✅️
Interesting characters: ✅️
End result: Dull and predictable
I really wanted to like this story but it just never got out of second gear.
the saving grace was the narrator, her beautiful accent and excellent voice characterisations. Unfortunately this was spoilt a bit by some poor sound mixing with a number of random volume changes.
if you like Shetland murder mysteries then this is on par with the TV series but as a novel it's just a bit flat and slow.
Good potential but not reached
