M the main character Patrick has Asberger, if this helps to identify the book.

Just coming to the end of Ann Cleeves Shetland books, didn't think I'd be reading crime novels as a stress buster but they are a very easy read and enjoyable too! I discovered the story that we saw being filmed when we were visiting the area around Sumburgh Lighthouse on our motorhome trip to the islands. Ann Cleeves certainly has a good knowledge and understanding about Shetland, so crimes apart it's a nice way to remember our stay up there. My profile pic was taken whilst waiting for the ferry to Unst, the most northerly isle, it's a bigger boat than the one in the photo. 

A few of pics taken round the film crew on Sumburgh, we had to squeeze in amongst them, it didn't faze the local bird life either. So now onwards to some different reading material....

I knew your avatar pic was familiar, Brue, but it’s gained a lifebuoy.

Refresh my mind, please. Which story was it?

Picked up a copy of, ‘The Heron’s call’ by Anne Cleaves. She was brought up locally in Devon and her latest books are based here. Our little village appears on the map at the front of the book and the ‘murder’ happened just up the road. It’s quite strange when she includes very local places to us. Some places are fictitious though. Bet there will be a few holidaymakers looking for somewhere that doesn’t exist in the summer.

That's what I like about the more modern writers, that they use actual locations instead of fictitious ones, places one actually know and if not already visited places to go to in the future.

I see that a book by Sharon Bolton "Little Black Lies" is on sale at Kindle for £0.99 

I've read this book some time ago and enjoyed it. Quite like the author.

Just a heads up for anyone looking for a bargain read.

Missed the TW question! Blue Lightning which wasn't set on the mainland. ⚡

I have just completed a couple of rather different mystery/thriller/detective novels, both of which I can recommend; Rubber Necker by Belinda Bauer and The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill by C.S.Robertson.

Have just started a series which again looks to be out ordinary, The Barbershop 7 (The Barney Thompson series) by Douglas Lindsay.

For anyone who is a fan of Wes Markin the 5 five books in his Jake Petterman series are all at 99p each for the next 4 days on kindle.

Just finished reading a book by Brian Freeman called the The Deep Deep Snow.

A one off but I have read a couple of his Jonathan Stride series so I bought this on Kindle when it was £0.99. Gone up now but keep an eye out for it if it returns to that price. A well written fleshed out book.

The Stride series is also good and I will try to get hold of the ones I'm missing from my library when I get back to the UK.

Rapidly becoming a favourite author of mine is Holly Watt. I'm in the middle of the third instalment of her Casey Benedict series. She's an investigative journalist, researching some very dark topics. A well written series of books, intriguing to know how close to fact her topics are.
