Thin Air

Author: Ann Cleeves

Detective Jimmy Perez returns to his Shetland Islands home, only to be thrust into a perplexing case. A young woman vanishes during a music festival, leaving behind whispers of folklore and dark secrets. As fog shrouds the rugged landscape, Perez unravels a web of lies and long-buried truths. Cleeves masterfully weaves atmosphere and suspense, capturing the isolation and close-knit nature of island life. I found myself shivering alongside the characters, feeling the damp chill seep into my bones as I turned each page.

Sometimes the past is so close you can almost touch it.
