Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during May 2015 is …
Thin Air by Ann Cleeves, a Shetland Islands Quartet Mystery (6th in series)
Publisher: Minotaur Books
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?
— Thin Air by Ann Cleeves
