Aw shoot. Well, I thought this one was the best of the series, but the ending really killed me. Tears and all. But I guess that is a mark of Ann Cleeves' skill. Doesn't make it any easier to read about...

3X Rereading entire series before Jimmy Perez returns this fall in The Killing Stones.

2X Reading. Even knowing what happens at the end  I'm still blubbering over fictional characters. 

1X Finally get to Fair Isle and then that ending! Don't mind me I'll just be blubbering over fictional characters. 😢

This was an enjoyable read.
