Finn Mcleod grew up on an island off the Scottish coast. He is still dealing with the loss of his son when he is summoned back to work as a Detective Inspector. There is a murder in his hometown like one he was investigating in Edinburgh. Finn arrives back on the island, but nothing is the same. He has been gone for too long. This visit reminds him of his childhood and his guga hunting trip.

The book has a steady pace, the characters are well developed, and it is written in the third person point of view with memories in first person. I was immediately sucked into this book. The story is well written, and I felt as if I was on the island. If you like Shetland and/or books by Ann Cleeves, you will enjoy reading this one.
