On NPR — Ann Cleeves
EDITOR’S NOTE — Be sure to check out the great offer in the comments section.
As a respite from the heat, NPR’s Morning Edition interviewed Ann Cleeves, the author of a series of mysteries set in Scotland’s sub-polar “wild and bleak” Shetland Islands.
The most recent title is in the series, the fifth, is Dead Water, (Macmillan/St. Martin’s/Minotaur; Feb, 2014). The sixth, Thin Air, is due next year.
The books are the basis for Shetland, a popular BBC One series in the U.K. (it hasn’t been broadcast in the U.S.)
Below are the titles in the series (first four are currently available in trade paperback from Macmillan Minotaur/Thomas Dunne Books):
- Raven Black
- White Nights
- Red Bones
- Blue Lightning
- Dead Water, (Macmillan/St. Martin’s/Minotaur; Feb, 2014)

@Betsy Kanouse: I just heard that we will most likely have a new Shetland Island / Ann Cleeves next Spring. In the meantime, I am totally sending you a copy of DEAD WATER.
