Lee Killough said Great companion to Cleeves' Shetland books and TV movies.. I've enjoyed both Ann Cleeves' Shetland books and the TV movies based on them, and this book *about* Shetland is equally satisfying. The kind you read fast first, then go back through more slowly to savor the scenery. Makes me want to go visit. I especially enjoyed the pictures and in them, spotting settings used in the TV movies. A "I know what book that's in" kind of moment.. ozjg said Wonderful compliment to the Perez stories. Fabulous book ; wonder pics ; nice to hear how the stories in the Shetland series work in with the landscape, history of the Islands etc. Wonderful on its own or before or after reading Jimmy Perez Shetland adventures!. Stephen A. Gorman said Shetland Islands "Travelogue" for Shetland Mysteries Fans. This is a nice little book to accompany Ms Cleeves' Shetland mysteries. It's sort of a travelogue to introduce you to the islands.
In this gloriously illustrated companion to her novels, Ann Cleeves takes readers through a year on Shetland, learning about its past, meeting its people, celebrating its festivals and seeing how the flora and fauna of the islands changes with the seasons. It has sheltered voes and beaches and dramatically exposed cliffs, lush meadows full of wild flowers in the summer and bleak hilltops where only the hardiest of plants will grow. Whether it is the drama of the Viking fire festival of Up Helly Aa in winter, or the piercing blue and hot pink of spring flowers on the clifftops, the long, white nights of midsummer or the fierce gales and high tides of autumn, Shetland is vividly captur
