I set this aside to pivot to African American authors in February. For March my #serieslove2025 reading will focus on women authors.
This was a melancholy story about murder and family obligations. Vera is growing on me.

pickI read this with my local reading group and the theme was ‘winter‘. This is the ninth in the Vera Stanhope series but the first one which I‘ve read. It works very well as a stand alone. It‘s a slow burning detective story with plenty of twists and turns. It fitted the ‘winter‘ theme well and I very much enjoyed it. I did sort of guess ‘whodunnit‘ even though I had a change of mind at first!
I‘ve been reading various other things this week, so I‘m back on Sunday again. Watching football and eating potato skins. #hyggehourreadathon
I‘m reading this with my local book group. I haven‘t read the previous books and usually prefer to start a series at the beginning, but needs must!
I‘ve run away from home for the next couple days and brought the tagged book with me. I‘m a little late to #hyggehourreadathon because I was watching webinar with Heather Cox Richardson. I have a feeling that once I start reading I won‘t last five minutes before I fall asleep in this nice comfy bed.
pickThis is a solid mystery with lots of leads that mislead. I love Vera.She‘s a fantastic character&detective. The reveal is bit disappointing & so was the tedious older-women-are-invisible, unattractive or good looking “for their age” repeated one time too many 🙄. But the strong, reliable characters and the outstanding writing make up for the shortcomings. Would love to watch the series. I wonder if the actress plays Vera as Cleeves envisions her.
Next audio book . . . Going to keep going with Vera. Also, have just discovered I now get a free audio book a month with Amazon music. Bonus!
pickI enjoyed it. Vera didn't appear until half way through. Was beginning to think she'd never show up 🤣
