Blue Lightning by Ann Cleeves
3.0

Ack. "Kill your darlings" indeed. I noticed in the last book that she had created a very sympathetic female character and then killed her off. Same story here. And in both books the murderer commits two murders which makes me think everyone in the Shetland isles would have PTSD by now.
I very much enjoyed the Fran/Perez romance through the series and feel quite betrayed by the end of Fran. The joking codicil in the sketchbook is a device without merit. I don't know if this is the end of the series. Would she write about heart broken Perez going back to the police grind? Certainly it's the end for me. Fooey.
