He has settled into his new home in Orkney, the group of islands, off the northern coast of Scotland, with his partner Willow Reeve and their growing family. One stormy winter night, his oldest and closest friend, Archie Stout, goes missing. Ever the detective, Perez catches a boat to the island of Westray, where Archie worked as a farmer and lived with his wife and children. But when he arrives he finds a shocking scene: Archie's body, on an archaeological dig site and an ancient Westray story stone with precise spirals carved into it beside him, the clear murder weapon. The artifact, taken from a nearby museum, seems to suggest a premediated murder. But Perez is so close to the case that he struggles to maintain an objective distance from the potential suspects. He finds it difficult to question Archie's wife, whom he's known for years. Rumors swirl about the dead man's relationship with a young woman new to the island, an artist. With each new lead, the case becomes more twisted and Perez wonders if he will ever find out what happened in his friend's final days."

When the body of a journalist is found, Detective Inspector Willow Reeves is drafted from outside to head up the investigation. Inspector Jimmy Perez has been out of the loop, but his local knowledge is needed in this case, and he decides to help Willow. The dead journalist had left the islands years before to pursue his writing career. In his wake, he left a scandal involving a young girl. When Willow and Jimmy dig deeper, they realize that the journalist was chasing a story that many Shetlanders didn't want to come to the surface. In Dead Water, a triumphant continuation to her Shetland series, Ann Cleeves cements her place as one of Britain's most successful crime writers.

A group of old university friends leave the bright lights of London and travel to Shetland to celebrate the marriage of one of their friends. But, one of them, Eleanor, disappears--apparently into thin air. It's mid-summer, a time of light nights and unexpected mists.  And then Eleanor's body is discovered lying in a small loch close to the cliff edge.  Detectives Jimmy Perez and Willow Reeves are dispatched to investigate. Before she went missing, Eleanor claimed to have seen the ghost of a local child who drowned in the 1920s. Her interest in the ghost had seemed unhealthy--obsessive, even--to her friends: an indication of a troubled mind. But Jimmy and Willow are convinced that there is more to Eleanor's death than they first thought.  Is there a secret that lies behind the myth? One so shocking that someone would kill--many years later--to protect? Ann Cleeves' striking new novel is a quintessential whodunit with surprises at every turn"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1376866</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1376866</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cleeves, Ann]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1376866092</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Jimmy Perez Thriller</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250069948/MC.GIF&amp;client=chplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dark Wives]]></title><description><![CDATA["Janine Birkett's marvelous narration enhances this riveting mystery, part of the Vera Stanhope series, set on the majestic northeast coast of England" — AudioFile  on  The Seagull , an Earphones Award winner As  New York Times  bestseller Ann Cleeves's beloved Vera series explodes in popularity in print and on TV, this stunning eleventh book explores the web of secrets surrounding a young man's death.

With its twists and turns, the plot keeps listeners engaged. An added bonus is Ann Cleeves speaking directly to listeners about the origin of the Venn series."-  AudioFile      "Jack Holden demonstrates his full talents in this mystery, bringing the extensive cast of characters in this small and close-knit community in Devon to life with his strong narration...His spot-on timing helps keep the story moving toward its surprising end, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable listen." - AudioFile  on  The Heron's Cry     Ann Cleeves- New York Times  bestselling and award-winning author of the Vera and Shetland series, both of which are hit TV shows-returns with  The Raging Storm , the extraordinary third installment in the Matthew Venn series.     Fierce winds, dark secrets, deadly intentions.   When Jem Rosco-sailor, adventurer, and legend-blows into town in the middle of an autumn gale, the residents of Greystone, Devon, are delighted to have a celebrity in their midst. But just as abruptly as he arrived, Rosco disappears again, and soon his lifeless body is discovered in a dinghy, anchored off Scully Cove, a place with legends of its own. This is an uncomfortable case for Detective Inspector Matthew Venn. Greystone is a place he visited as a child, a community he parted ways with. Superstition and rumor mix with fact as another body is found, and Venn finds his judgment clouded.  As the winds howl, and Venn and his team investigate, he realizes that no one, including himself, is safe from Scully Cove's storm of dark secrets.  "A friend of mine once joked that the work of Ann Cleeves is the closest the crime fiction genre comes to evoking ASMR-the euphoric, pleasant, spine-tingling sensation that's all the rage on YouTube. The books never get too dark, never venture too far into dangerous territory, but aren't outright cozy, either."- The New York Times    A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press]]></description><link>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1666774</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S92C1666774</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cleeves, Ann]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1666774092</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Matthew Venn Mystery</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250910301/MC.GIF&amp;client=chplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Raging Storm]]></title><description><![CDATA["When Jem Rosco--sailor, adventurer, and legend--blows into town in the middle of an autumn gale, the residents of Greystone, Devon, are delighted to have a celebrity in their midst.
