"A gothic style murder-mystery that plays out against the beautiful, unforgiving backdrop of the Shetlands"
Remote islands, windswept landscapes – and an unsolved murder. Clare Whitfield’s follow up to her much acclaimed debut, People of Abandoned Character, is perfect for fans of dark, twisty tales. When teenager Prue feels obliged to go live with her extended family, we’re slowly pulled into a new faraway landscape in the Shetlands, one that feels barren but full of intrigue. Prue’s on a mission to know the identity of her biological father, but while there gets drawn into another mystery she’s keen to uncover. It’s the kind of book that asks you to be alert, to pay attention, to take in the details and soak up the words. It’ll make the last act of unfolding dramas play out in unforgettable style.
