I am a great fan of this author and have read most of the titles in each of her later series.

The stories presented here make quick reading and included a couple that I hadn't read before. I found the inclusion of the first chapter of THIN AIR ( Shetland #6) a little odd. It seems to be there as a promo for the novel which was published later in 2014. ( )

Why did I read it? I enjoy Anne Cleeves' Shetland series, and I also like the television serialisation of her Vera novels, so a collection of short stories to dip into during short breaks sounded good.

What's it about? A collection of short, crime fiction tales featuring some of the characters from Anne Cleeves' books, Willow Reeves, Jimmy Perez, and Vera Stanhope.

What did I like? The stories were short, complete and were well written, holding my attention the whole way through; some even managing a twist in the tale.

What didn't I like? There were too few stories? Sorry, but that's about all I could find to dislike.

Would I recommend it? If you are a fan of Anne Cleeves, then, yes, I would recommend them, though they are only available in ebook form. If you enjoy crime fiction, but don't have the time to read an entire novel, then this may be for you, too. ( )
