About this listen

A woman disappears under ghostly circumstances, and Inspector Jimmy Perez must separate fact from fiction in Thin Air, the sixth Shetland mystery from Ann Cleeves.

Now a major BBC One drama, Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall.

A group of old university friends leave the bright lights of London, travelling to Shetland to celebrate the marriage of one of their friends to a local. But late on the night of the wedding party, one of them, Eleanor, disappears–apparently into thin air.

Detectives Jimmy Perez and Willow Reeves are dispatched to investigate. Before she went missing, Eleanor claimed to have seen the ghost of a local child who drowned in the 1920s. Jimmy and Willow are convinced that there is more to Eleanor’s disappearance than they first thought. Is there a secret that lies behind the myth? One so shocking that many years later someone would kill to protect it?

Continue the thrilling mystery series with Cold Earth.

A good read

Great story and plot, with a twist at the end. Ann Cleeves is very good at making you imagine the mysterious world of the very far north of Scotland !!

Another great Ann Cleves book

Love Kenny Blyth's narration and the different accents. Also great to hear the ongoing story of Jimmy Pérez and another great crime investigation. Recommended

Addicted to this series

Perez, Sandy, the landscape and elements and the way they have sculpted the people of Shetland and their way of life: it works so perfectly with Ann Cleeves’ pen - and the perfect narration of Kenny Blythe.

Perfect mystery story with excellent narration

Kenny Blyth does real justice to the Shetland series. He's well paced and believable. Even his English accents are convincing and, therefore, don't detract from the characters' believability.

Took a little while to get used to the narrator for Shetland but now really enjoy his voice.
