When a man is found hanging it what used to be his home, villagers start gossipping about the new owners. Seen as outsiders and different, the family isn't accepted, then when the body of a girl is found hanging in the same spot. Jimmy Perez is called to the scene with his team and his secret lover Willow, they are determined to find the killer.
A slow paced murder mystery set in the beautiful Scotland. The characters are believable, regular people just trying to get by. I enjoyed the slow pace and in depth investigation. Jimmy and Willow are great characters and I will be reading more.

Mysterious, precise, and atmospheric!
In this latest novel by Cleeves, Wild Fire, we head back to Deltaness where DI Jimmy Perez finds himself immersed in the evidence collection and investigation into the murder of a local nanny whose childhood was marred by hardship and tragedy and whose recent past was full of unusual and strained relationships.
The prose is intricate and deft. The characters are flawed, complex and intriguing. And the plot is a compelling, well crafted, police procedural full of suspects, clues, deduction, jealousy, obsession, manipulation, swirling emotions, secrets, familial drama, and murder.
Wild Fire is the eighth and final novel in the Shetland Series, and even though it’s a little bittersweet to say goodbye to the characters we’ve come to know and love over these last eight novels, it is nevertheless a lovely way to solve one last case with the usual gang and to finally discover whether DI Perez and Chief Inspector Willow will finally get their happy-ever-after ending.
