Sadly, I am late to the party of reading the Vera Stanhope series.

I stopped listing halfway through. Not because the story was bad - It wasn't!
But I really felt like, I ought to give the entire series the respect it deserves, and start reading the series in order. mening I really should get my hands on the first book.

I want the back-story, too.

So, for now - points for making me want to read the rest of the series. As for this book, to be continued...

*A big thank-you to Ann Cleeves, Macmillan UK Audio, and NetGalley for advanced audiobook in exchange for my honest review.*
I read the Stanhope series regularly, not in the chronological order, I admit, and I am a big fan of the way Ms Cleeves guides reader through mystery and at the same time allows us to learn more about Vera and her team.
This time the mystery is deep buried and it takes Vera's instincts to solve it. The premise, Holy Island is a beautiful island, with rich history and I am sure this book will bring more tourists. Just check the tide times!

Thank you Macmillan UK Audio and Netgalley for this audio copy.

It was a nice detective story. I love the events took place on an island. I am really loving books more when the sea is near. It was an interesting discovering for the detective that was new to me but I might listen more in this series. I went blind and was a nice surprise.
I love when the past is connected to the present and this reunion were an interesting start.
