Raven Black

I really wanted to like these books. I finished this one and even tried to read #2. The setting is wonderful - a perfect place to set a murder mystery: cozy, intimate, but also a little off. But somehow, I never connected with the characters. Jimmy Perez just didn't have a personality.

What's even more funny is that I tried to watch the shows that are based off these books, because I wanted to see more of the Shetland Islands - they changed many things in the TV show from the books, but even so, it's also impossible to connect with the characters!
