pickThis book was very different from what I expected, but not in a bad way. You don‘t get the detective‘s pov until close to the end of the book, but I think it gives more room to explore the characters and their motivations. It did calm the suspense down some, but the mystery was still a good one, with a side of environmentalism that still hits today. I enjoyed it, and I‘d definitely read more in the series.
pickBook 70 of the year for me and I think I‘ve read almost all the Vera series by Ann cleeves def worth checking out. I want to watch the tv versions now the see how close they are to the books!

pickNumber 3 in the Vera Stanhope books - I am so loving this series!
Spent the weekend at a friend‘s holiday house in Mangawhai which is about 90 minutes north of Auckland. This is the sun shining on the estuary as we took a morning walk. Didn‘t get much reading in but lots of walking, buying artisan products at the market and too much wine and cheese! ☀️❤️ #winterweekend
pickHaving watched the TV series, I didn‘t know what to expect from the books. The two seem to have more differences than commonalities. One thing about this particular book was the length. I almost hung it up at one point, but I stuck with it and I‘m glad I did. It‘s hard to catch the rhythm, but once caught, the book moves along. I think I‘ll stick with the series. Vera just gets under your skin. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickBook 4 in the Vera Stanhope series. I'm very slowly making my way through this series, and so far each book has been very good!
panThis was so long and boring, won‘t be buying Anne cleeves again

Another good outing with Vera. Don‘t think I‘ve ever guessed the murderer!
This is book 9 in the series and 10 has not long come out so I‘m nearly up to date.
pickRain and cats and a good book. (It‘s supposed to be summer, beaches, boats and books here though!)
I inhaled this one in 24 hours which hardly ever happens. I love how Cleeves gives you so many well developed characters each with secrets - I suspected EVERYONE. 😂😂 Loving Vera; this is the second book in the series.
