Product Information

If you've nar read this Newcastle (the toon) / Northumberland based series, eeee, howay man, you should because it’s canny and champion.

Cleeves crafts a clever central puzzle, then confers remarkable emotional complexity using her keenly drawn characters' advancing age, wistful nostalgia, and thorny shared history.She is tenacious, intuitive, although a little too careless of her own safety as she follows leads in this most challenging and tragic of investigations. But with the tide rising, secrets long-hidden are finding their way to the surface, and Vera and the team may find themselves in more danger than they could have believed possible.

Publication information is for the USA, and (unless stated otherwise) represents the first print edition. Their reunion is held at a place by the sea which is inaccessible for part of the day when the tide comes in. Die Figur, die von Ann Cleeves geschaffen wurde und von Brenda Blethyn dargestellt wird, ist unheimlich sympathisch in ihrer knorrigen Art. Holly is a wonderful but young police detective who is always looking for validation from Vera, her boss.

The TV series and the books they are based on have become international sensations, capturing the minds of millions worldwide. I know the island well, and many of the other locations, so, for me, this really adds another layer of pleasure to this favourite series. Ann's success was announced at the 2006 Dagger Awards ceremony at the Waldorf Hilton, in London's Aldwych, on Thursday 29 June 2006. It is forbidden to copy anything for publication elsewhere without written permission from the copyright holder. DI Vera Stanhope once again displays her sharp wit, her unwillingness to delegate and her dogged persistence in solving another mystery set in the North-East – this time on the mysterious and atmospheric Holy Island, known to southerners as Lindisfarne.
