Product Information

Sadly, in 2017, Ann’s husband Tim passed away, but she still lives in their beloved county of Northumberland, in the picturesque seaside town of Whitley Bay. Red Bones is book 3 in Ann Cleeves’ Shetland Island series. In the midst of the rugged beauty of Whalsay, a remote island, a young archaeologist’s remarkable discovery stirs the curiosity of the island’s inhabitants. Unearthing human remains from the past, the find ignites speculation—could it be an ancient relic, or does it conceal a more contemporary enigma? Ramsey is in charge of keeping his quiet village safe, which was an easy task until the murder of the local school’s headmaster.

So, if you’d like to read some of Cleeves ‘experiments’ from over the years, then you’re in the right place. Ann: ‘I like really complex locations, places that hit you and strike you. Places that have different communities within them. I grew up in North Devon so I know it quite well and I like that mix of cosiness – we think of Devon as having cream teas and thatched cottages and there is a little bit of that about it but there’s more rugged and left behind than people realise and because it has Ilfracombe, an old-fashioned seaside town, with big hotels and guest houses, they’ve now become hostels for the homeless, places where drifters and transients come and go and I like very much that mix of different people.’
