In this week’s The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available in shops and online.

On the front page we report on widespread speculation over a pest problem at Tesco. The retail giant is remaining tight-lipped on the matter, more than two weeks on from the “precautionary” closure of its Kirkwall superstore bakery.

Also in the newspaper this week we have an exclusive extract from Ann Cleeves’ new Orkney-based murder mystery, which sees the queen of crime bring back her famous detective Jimmy Perez.
