Red Bones

Discover the gripping mystery of "Red Bones" by Ann Cleeves. Dive into suspense and intrigue in this must-read crime novel.

Red Bones

Author: Ann Cleeves

Detective Jimmy Perez returns to his Shetland roots in this gripping mystery. When an elderly woman is shot on her land, Jimmy must unravel a web of secrets stretching back to World War II. As he digs deeper, he uncovers long-buried tensions and rivalries in the close-knit island community. Cleeves masterfully evokes the stark beauty and isolation of the Shetlands, weaving a tale that’s as much about the land and its people as it is about murder. I found myself completely absorbed in the atmospheric setting and complex characters.

Sometimes the past is so close you can touch it.
