Bookseller Recommendation
Wild Fire
“Wild Fire is the 8th book in the Jimmy Perez Shetland Island mystery series. Though I am a fan of the BBC/PBS show, this was the first book that I read. Wonderful depiction of insular island life, strong character development and a plot with twists and turns. What the characters are saying and what they leave out is important too for some personal situations. I listened to the audiobook on Libro.fm.”

As suspicion and resentment of the family blazes in the community, Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez is called in to investigate.

With families fracturing and long-hidden lies emerging, Jimmy faces the most disturbing case of his career.
