![]() ![]() So are his suspicions of Duncan fuelled by a distaste for his lifestyle, coupled with an increasing liking for Fran?Īnn Cleeves has written an absorbing study of a remote community. As a schoolboy, Jimmy was a close friend of Fran's ex-husband, but the two men fell out. The local detective in charge of the case, Jimmy Perez, is clearly extremely competent but when the body is found, has to defer to a younger superior from the mainland. Much of the subsequent action is told through the eyes of Fran Hunter, single parent of a young child, whose marriage to Duncan, a local millionaire, failed when he took up with an older woman. Some years ago, another young girl disappeared in mysterious circumstances near to Magnus's house, but a body was never found. Chief suspect is Magnus Tait, an old, strange man who lives in the nearest house to the field where the body is discovered. In a remote Scottish island community, a teenage girl is found dead. ![]()
