I loved binge watching Shetland recently from the beginning, having somehow never watched it before, and some of my book group friends recommended the books on which the series is based so I gave them a go. The setting of Shetland is great – with it’s very northern aspect meaning it has periods of little daylight as well as periods of little darkness and the effects this can have on people who live in the communities. The bleak and unforgiving landscape as well as small communities where everyone knows everyone also add lots of atmosphere and I loved the Viking re-enactment ceremony that took part as well. I will look out for other books in the series coming up in any audible sales.
