Not sure where you're based but if you're in the Uk you might be able to get some of her books in The Works, a discount book chain. It's been said before but the Shetland TV series is very different to the books, for example Tosh isn't in the books at all.
There is a collection called The Starlings which does have one of her short stories in, which is available online.- 1

"The Heron's Cry" by Ann Cleeves - this is the second book in the author's new series,set in Devon, following Inspector Matthew Venn and his team. This one is focussed around a small farm and artistic community, when a doctor investigating the local health authority's care of a young man who committed suicide is found murdered in his daughter's studio, with a piece of glass from one of her pieces proving to be the murder weapon. Not long after, another artist is found murdered by the same method, in the local arts centre which is run by Matthew's husband, Jonathan. Potential conflicts of interest here seem to be overlooked by the author, but it does put Matthew Venn in an awkward position and threatens to drive a wedge between him and his husband, who wants to help, as the artists also worked at his centre. So a small community finds itself under investigation, and yet another death causes even more intrigue. Whilst not as good as the earlier Shetland series, this is still really readable, and Matthew's own issues,such as with his mother, are handled here too. 7.5/10

I bought this but don't know if it's the one you read because there are several books called The Winter Garden on Amazon. I chose the one written by Nicola Cornick.
i enjoyed the Nicola Cornick book, very evocative and based on real people and a real garden, which is sadly no longer there.
There's also a book of the same name by Heidi Swain,which I read as part of the BCF winter read, but wasn't too keen on, typical chick lit!

Just read the synopsis on Amazon and is this based on the Terror and Erebus mystery?
