Cold Earth

I enjoyed Cold Earth by Ann Cleeves which is set on Shetland with DI Jimmy Perez investigating the murder of a woman after her house is hit by a landslide.  If not for the landslide, it was unlikely the body would have been discovered for some time.  Jimmy's senior officer Willow comes to the island to help with the investigation.  There is a hint of romance here but Jimmy is still grieving the death of his fiancee Fran and he's now responsible for her daughter Cassie.  There are a number of possible suspects as they find out why the mysterious woman was in the house.  I found the story a bit slow but probably mirrors the pace of life on the island. 4/5
