Author: Ann Cleeves

This is the first book in the Vera series by Ann Cleeves. I’ve read two of the books further on in the series so it was fun to see how Vera was first introduced, although that doesn’t happen until a long way into the book.

There are a lot of characters and a lot of suspects for the murderer. I didn’t figure it out and it wasn’t revealed until the last few pages. I don’t feel too badly though as I don’t think there were any clues along the way that would have led me to the conclusion.
