Ann Cleeves is back with the sixth book in her Shetland series featuring Inspector Jimmy Perez, whom readers will remember from Raven Black, White Nights, Red Bones, Blue Lightning, and Dead Water.
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.

Review
“A riveting read.” ―Val McDermid
“Cleeves returns to a sea-bound land of crofters' cottages, barren rocks and fog, especially the fog surrounding the murders...the well-constructed procedural gains another dimension from Jimmy's re-engagement with his work and his life.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Cleeves has an unusually deft hand with characters; not one of them seems purely plot functional, and Perez's character keeps deepening with each book. The rough islands cresting the Atlantic fit the bleakness of the murders depicted here. This series is one of two that Cleeves has going; the other stars Northumberland detective Vera Stanhope and is a hit BBC series.” ―Booklist (starred)
“Absorbing...Cleeves keeps readers guessing until the final page.” ―Publishers Weekly

Completing Jimmy Perez's rehabilitation
By Blue in Washington
A woman disappears overnight from a wedding party on a small Shetland Island. Her husband and friends, including the bride and groom, have no clue where she could have gone in the remote and unfamiliar place. The estimable island copper, Jimmy Perez, is called to investigate, and thus starts a new, and tightened Shetland murder investigation. This one, happily, has Perez back in charge and interacting with a fine collection of well-fleshed out Shetland Island characters. The carefully laid out procedural has an overlay of a local legend involving the drowning of an island child and her continuous sighting by locals over some 80 years.
This is author Ann Cleeves' second book in her return to the Shetland series, and it is remarkably stronger than its immediate predecessor, "Dead Water", which served, at best, as a kind of transition piece to get Jimmy Perez beyond the grief of losing his fiance. "Dead Water" introduced the character of Detective Willow Reeves and placed her at the center of action along with Deputy Sandy Wilson. For me, the Reeves character never quite jelled and in this new episode, she has been moved to a secondary level of the story line as Jimmy Perez has stepped forward. Sandy Wilson has evolved further as an artful observer, and feels about right in this new novel.
As always, author Cleeves delivers a well-defined landscape and atmospheric background for the story that make you want to visit the islands (or maybe, just the opposite) to experience their basic and austere crags, harbors, meadows and unrelenting climatic moodiness.
This is an excellent read and works well as a stand alone novel. Different in feel from the wonderful Vera series, but strong in its own way.

Where is Cassie?
By Dirk Sinnewe
This is the latest book in Ann Cleeves’ Shetland series. As in all her other books Cleeves manages to create the right kind of atmosphere for what she wants to say. With Thin Air she makes once again a fascinating and -at least to me- convincing fictional Shetland community come to live. She also creates enough suspense that makes you want to read on, so why am I not as happy with this book as I was with all the others in this series?
I guess for Cleeves the idea of “complicated families” was also central to the construction of this book. And this is where she fails, unless she really wanted to keep the character Cassie as flat and as almost non-existent as it is here. Cassie is so uncomplicated, whenever the plot needs her to be stowed away, she is all too easily disposed off. She is packed off to her biological father or to her grandparents. Perez is still guilt-ridden towards them for losing their daughter, and this issue is dealt with in great detail, but ironically the portrayal of the most complicated of all families, Cassie and Perez, remains rather sketchy. I’m not bothered by a whodunit author using a certain amount of stereotypical characters; the Southerner, the Foreigner, and the Shetlander, in order to quickly move a story on, but Perez must remain a credible character, and a man repeatedly described as almost too full of empathy, a man who cares for his adopted daughter, must also come alive for the reader through this relationship. So I think Cassie (rather than Willow) should be given a voice of her own in Ms Cleeves’ next book.

Excellent plot leads us down one path to another, with very good twists along the way.
By L. J. Roberts
First Sentence: The music started.
The gathering of university friends for a wedding hamefarin’ on Unst in the Shetlands Islands comes to an end with the discovery of one of the friend’s body the next morning. Was it suicide, as indicated by an email received from the dead woman the next day? Was her death foretold by Perrie Lizzie, the ghost of a young girl who’d died there years before? Inspector Jimmy Perez and his team travel to the outermost island to find out.
Cleeves excels at creating a sense of place and painting visual pictures which employ all the senses. Even though few will be able to visit these rather remote islands, you have a true sense of being there, with the long days and weather contributing to the plot. To this, she adds just a touch of the supernatural still leaving you to question whether it truly is.
All of her characters are fully dimensional. You know their appearance, enough of their back story to give true sense of them, and even insights into their personalities and insecurities. The relationships are realistic, understandable and important. The interplay between the investigating team and that those associated to the victim are equally important and well balanced in the story. Yet it is Perez, his slowly maturing Sergeant Sandy Wilson, and Detective Willow Reeves brought in to oversee the case, who most hold our interest.
“Thin Air” is very well done, with a plot that takes us around and amongst the islands, leading us down one path to another, with very good twists along the way. Cleeves is a wonderful writer and one who should be on any mystery-reader’s list.
