4 1/2 stars
Good writing, the characters were great, i really liked detective Perez, the descriptions of Shetland we amazing and really brought the place alive and the descriptions of knitting, knitwear and woodwork in general made my knitters heart proud. But the mystery was merely ok, not terribly earth shattering, but believable.
