Ann Cleeves has thrilled readers everywhere with her critically acclaimed mystery series set in the Shetland Islands, which began with the award-winning Raven Black. Now, Cleeves is back with another compelling mystery series (set in Northumberland, England). This one features detective Vera Stanhope, the lead character played by Brenda Blethyn on the hit television series βVera.β Destined for the same kind of fame achieved by Colin Dexterβs Inspector Morse, the show is a favorite of millions of viewers in the U.K. and is available here on Netflix, PBS, and Amazon.
When Vera finds the body of a woman in the sauna of her local gym, she wonders briefly if, for once in her life, sheβs uncovered a simple death of natural causes. But when a closer inspection reveals bruises around the victimβs throat, Veraβs team start their investigation. Vera and her colleagues soon uncover details in the victimβs past that may explain her untimely death. But Vera knows from experience that thereβs no such thing as a simple case, and this one gets more baffling by the minute.
With pitch-perfect writing, a finely tuned mystery, and a protagonist with a complex past of her own, Silent Voices is a stand out penned by one of Britainβs most successful mystery writers.
