Shetland Sailing Mysteries

The Shetland Sailing Mysteries are puzzle-style crime novels starring indomitable solo-sailor Cass Lynch and Inverness DI Gavin Macrae. The books don’t have to be read in order – each mystery is self-sufficient, and there are no spoilers in subsequent books. However there’s a slow-growing love story over the books, and a number of series characters. The books were partly written as a response to the FAQ from people on the mainland: ‘But what do you find to do up there?’ Each book is set in a particular part of Shetland, at a particular time of year, and showcases not only the gorgeous scenery but also local events at that time.
