WHITE NIGHTS

TITLE: WHITE NIGHTS
AUTHOR: ANN CLEEVES
Pages: 392
Date: 14/09/2008
Grade: 5-
Details: no. 2 Shetland quartet
Library

In a fisherman's shed in the tiny community of Biddista, a man is found hanged, with a mask on his face. Only the night before the man had broken down at the opening of an art exhibition attended by Detective Jimmy Perez, and had claimed to suffer from amnesia.
Now Perez has to start a murder investigation and discover all the secrets burried in the tiny community.
Soon though, a second murder is commited, and while Perez once again has to work with Roy Taylor from the Inverness force, and is trying to further his relationship with Fran Hunter, events and secrets several years old are causing death and pain in the present.
This second book in the quartet lives up to the promise of the first one, and I'm looking forward to the remaining instalments.
