The Dark Wives: A Vera Stanhope Novel | Ann Cleeves

pick

#TheDarkWives #AnnCleeves #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #August2024

Vera, Joe and Rosie are searching for Josh, a staff member of a residents home. They need to find a 14 year old Chloe Spence to get to the truth. The book moves at a steady pace with multiple POV's from the team members. As usual, Ann Cleeves keeps the story close to her chest so it's hard to figure out what is going on until the very end of the book.

The Raging Storm | Ann Cleeves

pick

#TheRagingStorm #AnnCleeves #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2023

This is the 3rd book of the Two Rivers series by Ann Cleeves. Jem Rosco returns to his hometown of Greystone. His dead body is found in a dinghy anchored in Scully Cove and Matt Venn is called in to investigate. I have read all of Cleeve's books in her Vera Stanhope & Shetland series. She wants us to pay attention to the story as the characters act it out according to their personalities.

EadieB She always keeps her cards close to her chest as she only lets us know as much as we need to know as we read towards the perfect ending. I'm now looking forward to reading the next book in the series. If you like secrets mixed with your mystery thrillers then you will love this book. 1y

TheSpineView Great job 👏 1y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 1y

The Rising Tide | Ann Cleeves

pick

#TheRisingTide #AnnCleeves #BookSpinBingo

For fifty years a group of friends have been meeting for reunions on Holy Island, celebrating the school trip where they met, and the friend that they lost to the rising tide five years later. Now, when one of them is found hanged, Vera is called in.

Andrew65, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB Learning that the dead man had recently been fired after misconduct and allegations, Vera knows she must discover what the friends are hiding, and whether the events of many years before could have led to murder then, and now.
This is book number 10 in the Vera series. I have read all the others before so I am very familiar with the series. (edited) 2y

EadieB It is a series of characters that speak for the author and the plot is such that I have kept the pages turning until the very surprising ending. It is very hard to guess the killer as Ann Cleeves does not leave anything unturned until the very end. I look forward to the next book as I have enjoyed each one. If you love thrillers then you will love this one. I would like to thank NetGalley and Minotaur Books for a copy for an honest review. 2y

Andrew65 She still keeps her cards close to her chest before the final reveal. 2y

EadieB @Andrew65 Yes she does! 2y

Andrew65 @EadieB For most other authors I would get a bit frustrated with this, but she definitely makes it work. (edited) 2y

EadieB @Andrew65 You can‘t try to figure it out so you just go with until the end! 2y

Andrew65 @EadieB Exactly that! She does write great books and stories. 2y

EadieB @Andrew65 Yes she does! 2y

TheAromaofBooks I read a few of Cleeves's books earlier this year and really enjoyed them. I need to pick some back up!! 2y

EadieB @TheAromaofBooks Yes! You need to do that! 2y

The Heron's Cry | Ann Cleeves

pick

#TheHeronsCry #AnnCleeves #BookSpinBingo #StackingTheSeries #SeriesRead2021

The Two Rivers Series, Book 2 Detective Matthew Venn is called out to a rural crime scene at the home of a group of artists. Dr Nigel Yeo has been fatally stabbed with a shard of one of his glassblower daughter's broken vases. Then another body is found--killed in a similar way. Matthew needs to find the killer before they strike again. Complex characters drive this plot.

TheSpineView, audraelizabeth, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB This is a mystery full of surprises and Ann Cleeves is at the top of her game as she holds her cards close to her chest and the murderer is hard to figure out until the very end. Set in North Devon, this series is soon to be a TV series along with Shetland and Vera. If you like mysteries that are hard to solve, then you should read this series. I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a free copy for an honest review. 3y

TheSpineView Great job! 3y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y

DGRachel I love Vera! I need season 11 soon! 4y

Avanders Love your wall! 😍 4y

LeahBergen We‘re on season 3 at my house. 😊 4y

kspenmoll I have to start this series but is it true to books? Have not gotten too far & do not want to spoil a book. 4y

BookishMarginalia @kspenmoll Some of the episodes are based on the books, but mostly the series is very different. The character of Holly in particular is very much changed. They are really two quite different entities, the series and the books, as with the Shetland books and series. 4y

Red Bones: A Thriller | Ann Cleeves

I‘ve been on an #AnnCleeves binge lately... the audiobooks are great! (From Hoopla and Scribd). Mysteries help me cope with these challenging times.

Tove_Reads How‘s ‘the new normal‘ at home treating you? 4y

EadieB @Tove_Reads It was a disaster. My granddaughter missed her father and my daughter missed Virginia so they left. My daughter is now living with a friend from her work in Virginia. (edited) 4y

Tove_Reads Ok, that went fast, but a good thing, I believe! 4y
