A woman is found dead in an apparent suicide – but there may be something darker at play. Featuring Inspector Jimmy Perez, Too Good To Be True is a gripping Quick Read from Ann Cleeves' bestselling Shetland series.
Now a major BBC One drama, Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall.
When young teacher Anna Blackwell is found dead in her home, the police think her death was suicide or a tragic accident. After all, Stonebridge is a quiet country village in the Scottish Borders, where murders just don't happen.
But 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 been a teacher. She must have loved kids. Would she kill herself knowing there was nobody to look after her daughter? She had seemed happier than ever before she died. And to Perez, this suggests not suicide, but murder . . .

Anne Cleves is always great, and the reader is superb. Mastering a variety of Scottish accents and gives the book an edge.

Kunde varit lite längre, när man vet att författaren är bra på persongallerier blir man lite besviken😉

Seriöst! Detta är som ett utkast till en bok som skrivits av en tonåring. Vart tog författares normalt målade persongalleri och miljöer vägen?!
