A warm welcome back to my friend from the Shetlands, Marsali Taylor. The eighth novel in her Shetland Sailing Mysteries brings Cass Lynch back to her home waters, where she becomes entangled in a family saga of greed, inheritance and hidden truths.
Title: Death from a Shetland Cliff
Genre: Puzzle crime
Author: Marsali Taylor
Release Date: October 1, 2020
About the book: As summer draws to a close in Shetland, indomitable sailor Cass Lynch is preparing to look after eccentric, outspoken Tamar, who is returning from hospital following a fall. Recuperation should involve a peaceful week in Tamar’s isolated cottage, but on arriving at the house Cass finds there has been a break-in… curiously, only some old papers are disturbed.
Then the body of a man is found in a cove close-by and while it looks to be an accident at first glance, suspicions are quickly aroused – and soon the police have a murder on their hands.
At the same time, Cass begins to suspect Tamar knows more than she’s letting on about her family’s ties to the local laird. As the family start to gather, secrets won’t stay buried for long . . .
I discovered Marsali’s series while visiting Shetland and loved the fact that her books have allowed me to feel like I am still there. This latest is her best — complex plot, great characters!
