It's a Mad Mad World

This was a book I really looked forward to reading since I love the Shetland series. What I like with the Shetland series is a.) the characters b.) the setting and c.) the crimes. I like Detective Jimmy Perez, he is such a steady character. He is still recovering from the loss of Fran, but now he seems to be more himself again. Detective Willow Reeves was introduced in the last book and I liked her from the beginning. This hippie cop together working with the steady Jimmy Perez. It's just a terrific paring.

I liked the story very much in this book, I like that it didn't feel rushed that slowly, the pieces came together in the end. A tragic end, so much misunderstanding. The myth of the drowned child was an interesting part of the story. 

Now I'm just waiting for the next book to be released...whenever that will be!
