Wild Fire

A Shetland Island Mystery, Book 8

By: Ann Cleeves

Narrated by: Kenny Blyth

"Narrator Kenny Blyth transports listeners to the Shetland Islands with his delightful and easily understood Scots brogue." (AudioFile Magazine on Cold Earth)

Wild Fire is the much-anticipated final audiobook in Ann Cleeves's beloved Shetland Island series, now a major television triumph starring Douglas Henshall.

The betrayal of those closest burns most of all....

Hoping for a fresh start, an English family moves to the remote Shetland islands, eager to give their autistic son a better life.

But when a young nanny's body is found hanging in the barn beside their home, rumors of her affair with the husband spread like wildfire. As suspicion and resentment of the family blazes in the community, Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez is called in to investigate. He knows it will mean his boss, Willow Reeves, returning to run the investigation, and confronting their complex relationship.

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

Critic reviews

"In this final book in the Shetland series, Cleeves has woven a compelling story that [narrator Kenny] Blyth delivers masterfully. Those new to the series will quickly pick up on the backstories and may be inspired to listen to the full series." (AudioFile)

What?? No more Jimmy? No more Wiiowm

How can Wildfire be the last book? I wish we were given a little more certainty about their relationship.
Jimmy deserves some happiness.

Not the greatest plot in series; Martha and Charlie were a weak element.

Not that fond of Blyth as narrator--he barely tries to give the characters their own voices.
Overall a great series.

Oh Ann, say it ain't so....

Shetland with Jimmy and company have become wonderfully comfortable friends. It is sad it's ending!

Brilliant Mystery , Character Study

Superb analysis of small town. Narrator excellent. Accent adds much to draw reader in and allow visualization Story a great puzzle too.

Another winner from Anne Cleeves

The characters in this book were some of the most interesting of all the characters in Cleeves’ previous Shetland books. It made the story so interesting to have such a variety of personalities and ages in the story. And of course Jimmy Perez and Willow Reeves finally cemented their relationship. But we all knew that this would happen in this, the last book of the Shetland series.

Ann Cleeves is hard to beat

Another wonderful novel buy Ann Cleeves. Her characters are complex and interesting and her stories are highly entertaining. Love all of her books.
