Cute enough, but the main character wasn’t very likeable for way too long.
The story of the city mouse and the country mouse reframed into a Hallmark Christmas movie.
Raven Black begins on New Year’s Eve with a lonely outcast named Magnus Tait, who stays home waiting for visitors who never come. But the next morning the body of a murdered teenage girl is discovered nearby, and suspicion falls on Magnus. Inspector Jimmy Perez enters an investigative maze that leads deeper into the past of the Shetland Islands than anyone wants to go.
Brief review
Entertaining enough. I may have ruined it by watching the series first (though I missed this episode somehow.)
There’s a pace here almost as slow as that of the television show and perhaps one that may mirror the pace of life on a small island separated away from the general business of the world.
A generally well crafted mystery here, though there were bits that were guessable. Seemed an odd plot feature to have one person discovering all the bodies though I’m not sure if it added to the mystery of the story in any way, at least for me.
