In the quiet village of Stonebridge, a woman's apparent suicide unearths dark secrets that point to murder. Join Inspector Jimmy Perez as he investigates the mysterious death of young teacher Anna Blackwell in this gripping Quick Read from Ann Cleeves' bestselling Shetland series.

Now a major BBC One drama, Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall.

When Anna Blackwell is found dead in her home, the police initially suspect suicide or a tragic accident. But in the tranquil country village of Stonebridge, nestled in the Scottish Borders, murders are unheard of.

Inspector Jimmy Perez, called in from far-away Shetland by his ex-wife Sarah, begins to investigate. Local gossip suggests that Anna was having an affair with Sarah's new husband, Tom. Could he have been involved in her death? As Sarah seeks proof of her husband's innocence, Perez uncovers a more sinister truth.

As a teacher, Anna loved children. Would she really take her own life, leaving her daughter without a mother? Her newfound happiness before her untimely demise leads Perez to suspect not suicide, but murder...

Too Good To Be True is the perfect introduction to the captivating world of Shetland's Inspector Jimmy Perez. This Quick Read from Ann Cleeves, the acclaimed author of the Shetland series, delivers a fast-paced and satisfying mystery that will leave you craving more.
