Featuring Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez from the bestselling Shetland series.
When young teacher Anna Blackwell is found dead in her home, the police think her death was suicide or a tragic accident.
But Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez soon arrives from far-away Shetland when his ex-wife, Sarah, asks him to look into the case.
The local gossips are saying that her new husband, Tom, was having an affair with Anna. Could Tom have been involved with her death? Sarah refuses to believe it – but needs proof.
Anna had seemed happier than ever before she died. And to Perez, this suggests not suicide, but murder…

A novella from the Shetland series which I listened to as an e-audiobook on BorrowBox. Jimmy Perez is asked by his ex-wife (who lives in the Highlands) to look into the death of a young teacher, who had been found dead in her home. The police are convinced it was either suicide or a tragic accident, but would she have killed herself knowing there was nobody to care for her young daughter? Perez travels to the Highlands and discovers the case is far from clear-cut. I thought it was an interesting and clever mystery and I enjoyed listening to it while I did my chores!
Review by: Northumberland Gal, Oundle Crime
The story was a bit sad, but good. Sometimes is surprising what jealous can do with people.
I really enjoyed this book. It is my first quick read. I loved being able to finish a good book quickly, as time to sit down and commit to a book is difficult.
The book was so easy to get into and it kept me hooked.
I will defiantly be reading more Ann Cleeves.
This was the best book I have read for a few months. It was interesting and no problems reading any words.
