Another excellent Vera book from Ann Cleeves! With most of the main players being late middle age, friends from high school, it brought out a more reflective side to Vera. The last few chapters were intense with the unexpected attack on Holly leading to her death. Seeing Vera grieve for her DC is the most vulnerable we’ve ever seen her. Highly recommend!
Trigger warning: infant loss is repeatedly brought up
