Ann Cleeves writes perfect mysteries… stories full of humanity, emotion, and history. This complex tale of murder, romance, and friendship is extraordinarily executed, fast paced and thoughtful…
I enjoyed this one a lot! I've watched a fair bit of the TV show, so some of my expectations were based off of that and the book was definitely... different. Vera herself was quite different from the TV show, and I kind of liked the TV show version better. Also, all three of her team were different from the people who are on the TV show now (the most recent season is the one with this story in it), so I kind of just ended up imagining the three from the TV show with different names as I was reading this book.
This one is definitely a police procedural and you really have to remember EVERYTHING that the investigators do in order to keep up by the end of the story. I generally don't mind a good police procedural, but I usually like the TV adaptations better than the books. I'd still pick up another book in this series, though!

Wow absolutely fantastic. Great characterisation, great story and plot just marvellous. Loved every page. Now I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
