Shetland star: 'I like to work out killer as plot unravels'

She adds: "The murder itself is a peculiar death as the victim is an older woman and she's positioned in a rather macabre way. "What makes it worse is she's outside her house, exposed to the elements and she's been out there for a few days. So, obviously, because it's a small community, everyone's a bit suspicious. "For me, this series is the best storyline out of the three I've been involved in. I love the detail of this one and the fact that all the locals are suspects in the murder case." Jensen says a fascinating element of the plot is that the personal lives of the police officers become embroiled in the case. "This has been interesting for us all to play," she says. "There are relationships in the station which become slightly fraught and fractious because of the specifics of this case." She adds: "Cleverly, what the makers have done is keep the essence of what the show is. People love the environment, they love that expansive landscape - it's so alien but also recognisable." Jensen says she enjoys filming on location because "it feels more alive". "You're actually in a house, you're beside the water and you can smell the sea air outside and I find it helpful to feel the damp, feel the cold even though it can be difficult," she says. "The fact your hair is going all over the place can add to the wildness of the show and the elements are bigger than you and as much a part of the show as the actors and the storyline."
