pgchuis 's review for:

The Darkest Evening by Ann Cleeves
4.0

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

I haven't read a 'Vera' novel for ages, although I faithfully watch the TV series. The spirit of the books is faithfully transferred across, I see. This was a solid police procedural, with the added complication of the murder victims being discovered in the grounds of a country house belonging to Vera's cousin. The first victim, Lorna, remained a bit of an enigma, so the ending was only somewhat satisfactory to me. I had suspected various other people throughout though, and the novel depicts teamwork at its best.
