Take a photo of a barcode or cover
I am definitely addicted to this series. It's the atmosphere I like. This particular edition has a quote on the cover that sums it up for me: "slow-burning intrigue" (from a Peter James). The story builds up, but that is fine by me. It just adds to the tension until you stay up late to read more because you just can't put the book down.
I did feel that the stealing part came slightly out of nowhere. Of course, Sandy knew something was definitely wrong, but what exactly we do not know. There were plenty of opportunities for Perez and Sandy to have a chat that the reader isn't privy to, and that is an OK technique. I just paused a moment there leafing back and forth wondering if I had missed something. You could argue that Sandy arranging something unknown with Cedric was also out of the blue, but that worked and didn't give me pause for thought.
A side comment irrelevant to the story: I was quite amazed at the description of the two women in a photo who were both carrying a huge pack of peat on their backs AND knitting in their hands. To walk and knit while carrying a huge on their backs! Hats off to the knitters of the Shetland islands! That was also knitting of necessity and not just some pretty pattern for fun. I would have to still and alone to handle some of those Shetland patterns. :)

I was not expecting Hattie to get murdered. We hear so many of her thoughts so I thought she would be a character who would be a witness to something. That sort of made the effect of her death a bit stronger. It made you feel Sandy's anger even more when he asked Ronald "how could you".I did feel that the stealing part came slightly out of nowhere.
