White Nights by Ann Cleeves.

White Nights
By Ann Cleeves.
Dramatised for radio by Iain Finlay MacLeod.
Atmospheric crime drama set in Shetland at midsummer - the time of white nights, when the sun never quite leaves the sky and birds sing at midnight.
The launch of Bella Sinclair's art exhibition, at the Herring House Gallery in the remote hamlet of Biddista, is ruined by the appearance of a distressed stranger, claiming amnesia. The man is later found hanged but local detective Jimmy Perez has a hunch that it's murder not suicide.
When the dead stranger is finally identified, strands of clues point towards a dark secret held deep within the collective memory of the community, one which has brought death to the present.

D.I. Jimmy Perez ..... Steven Robertson
Kenny ..... Finlay Welsh
Edith ..... Anne Lacey
Bella ..... Eileen McCallum
Fran ..... Tracy Wiles
D.I. Roy Taylor ..... Robin Laing

Roddy ..... Finn den Hertog
Producer: Kirsteen Cameron.

Thank you for sharing these great stories, I love how well written they are, it really entices my imagination, I could almost feel the warmth of the sun, cool breeze, and smell the fresh air while listening.

Ahhhh..........bliss. Now, if only the actors on the tv series had got their accents just as grand as this fine recording, I'd have loved the series more. I enjoyed this more than I can say. Thank you.

I think Sandy’s accent was local .

The main actors in the TV series are all Scottish!! I should know - I am too and I very much doubt the actors in this recording are. Sound like one or two English people murdering our Scottish accents 😊😊

A nice little crime drama in a wee village near the cliffs.
