White Nights by Ann Cleeves

4.0

The second in the Shetland Quartet is set during midsummer when long periods of sunlight cause everyone to go a bit mad. The beautiful writing captures the mood and ambiance of Shetland, as well as provides rich characters. The story centers around a case involving a mysterious stranger who turns up at an art exhibition, makes a scene, and winds up dead. A second body turns up shortly afterwards but it not clear if the deaths are linked. As the pieces of the puzzle are revealed, it becomes clear that stories from the past have a bearing on the current situation. A solid second offering in this series that makes me eager to read the third soon.
