About this listen

Marsali Taylor returns with the ninth gripping mystery in her Shetland Sailing Mystery series.

While onboard her last chartered sailing trip of the season, Cass Lynch is awoken in the middle of the night by a Mayday call to the Shetland coastguard. A fishing vessel has become trapped on the rocks off the coast of one of the islands.

In the days that follow, there's both a shocking murder and a baffling death. On the surface, there's no link, but when Cass becomes involved, it is soon clear that her life is also in danger.

Convinced that someone sinister is at work in these Shetland waters, Cass is determined to find and stop them. But uncovering the truth could prove to be deadly....

Accent!

On the whole the narrator does a good job. But how can the names of places be read so badly? It's FOOLA
A Shetland narrator or at least advisor is needed.

First 3/4 good then got preachy

I enjoyed this until Ms Taylor decided to use her novel to preach and lecture the listeners. Good novelists leave readers to draw their own conclusions but Ms Taylor was having none of that. The Conservatives are bad, all the illegal immigrants from Calais are deserving who can’t possibly make a home in France and joyless self righteous Inga is to be admired. That’s without the women’s rights lectures. I have several feminist books. If I want to read about feminist history I don’t choose a crime novel.
Is she getting bored of writing fiction. The ending ( of the novel not the post novel 2 hour lecture) was rather far fetched. Shame as it was good when she was writing a story.
