Theft is still theft.
A business that can't succeed without theft?
That's called a criminal enterprise.

Easily my favourite mention of Dark Island yet on any social media. Well played @shetlandlibrary.bsky.social 👏🚌😁
Our upgrade went OK we think...
You'll find 3 new audio crime series on the Libby app, including: Dark Island - the Orkney Mysteries - 'Six hours of daylight. A race against time to catch a killer'. Tell us about it - it's hard enough to catch a bus in winter up here!

If you’ve read Dark Island, then you’ll know about the notebooks. They feature in Book 2, where Freya will try to decipher their meaning. She’ll come here, to Burwick, at the very southern tip of South Ronaldsay. But she might regret what she finds… 👀
