Elderly Mima Wilson is shot dead outside her remote house, discovered by her grandson, PC Sandy Wilson. On the case is DI Jimmy Perez. Mima's land was being used by an archaeological team, who dig up something rather unexpected. One of the diggers, Hattie, who used to chat to Mima plans to inform Jimmy of a vital piece of evidence, but she too is killed. Plenty of suspects, including the dig leader, Paul Berglund, who had a fling with Hattie. There is wayward relative Ronald, as well as Mima's son, Joseph, none have alibis.
A solid introduction to Shetland, it's an interesting story, with some interesting characters. Henshall steals every scene he's in, no wonder he won a BAFTA for his performance, he is outstanding, fair to say he's a cut above most of the others. A shame Gemma Chan was cut down so quickly.
The scenery is breathtaking, such a beautiful place. You can't help but watch in awe. 7/10
