Too Good To Be True by Ann CleevesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It is what it is. A quick read. One of a series of short books written by bestselling writers. It is still a fast and satisfying read for regular readers and is intended to encourage more adults to discover the pleasure of reading.
Having read the entire Shetland series by Ann Cleeves I had to see how she would cope with a short story composed around her detective inspector Jimmy Perez who arrives in the Scottish Borders at the request of his ex-wife Sarah to investigate the death of Anna Blackwell, a local teacher. The police believe her death was either suicide or a tragic accident. Being a short read there is little time to develop a meaty plot and Perez solves the mystery with scant clues to go on, perhaps stretching credulity somewhat.
For all that, I enjoyed it - read in a couple of hours. I am a big fan of Ann Cleeves and Jimmy Perez. What's not to like....
