About this listen

When she wangles the job of skippering a Viking longship for a film, Cass Lynch thinks her big break has finally arrived - even though it means returning home to the Shetland Islands, which she ran away from as a teenager.

Then the ‘accidents’ begin - and when a dead woman turns up on the boat’s deck, Cass realises that she, her family and her past are under suspicion from the disturbingly shrewd Detective Inspector Macrae.

Cass must call on all her local knowledge, the wisdom she didn’t realise she’d gained from sailing and her glamorous, French opera singer mother to clear them all of suspicion - and to catch the killer before Cass becomes the next victim.

Liked the main character Cass. Having been to Shetland I could really picture the landscape and wildlife the author describes. Such a different way of life, very outdoors. Not too convinced by the kilted policeman, but will certainly read more of Marsali's books.

Wonderful descriptions of Shetland

I’ll certainly be trying others in this series. I enjoyed the local connection with the islands. The plot was perhaps a little overworked and there were some terrible mis-pronunciations on the part of the narrator that should have been picked up by the editors, which were a bit distracting but overall enjoyable.

Quite engaging

Very good read and love all the accents! Amazing scenery and great sailing references. Have been looking for a book about female sailors and this will be one of my favourite.

Amazing sailing story about a female captain!
