On the first snowy night of winter, Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope sets off for her home in the hills. Though the road is familiar, she misses a turning and soon becomes lost and disorientated. A car has skidded off the narrow road in front of her, its door left open, and she stops to help. There is no driver to be seen, so Vera assumes that the owner has gone to find help. But a cry calls her back: a toddler is strapped in the back seat.

Thank You Ann Cleeves
The Vera Stanhope mysteries have kept me intrigued and entertained for hours. Vera is a unique and fascinating character.
In this book the characters are well developed and interesting. The descriptions of the people and places were evocative for me - I could mentally picture them as I read the story. The mystery is good - I didn't guess the outcome ahead of time.
Narrator Ann Dover is superb.
I expect I will listen to this book (and others in the series) over and over again.

Just a fabulous book
Any additional comments?
I've listened to all the Shetland books and read several of Cleeves' early works. Although the Shetland TV shows are probably the best TV made in the last 5 years, the Vera (book) series is turning out to be the best reads. Also the reader for this one is so good. She doesn't does that sweet, smiley uplift of the voice when something sentimental or cutesy is said.

Love That Vera Stanhope!
I am thoroughly enjoying reading this series from Ms. Cleeves. I often shudder that there will be too many similarities between the books and the tv series, but I am pleased to say there’s more than enough difference between the two to keep me happy. I like that Cleeves has created a character who is and is not comfortable in her own skin. Yet, she is driven to help keep the world a tidy place even when she may not be so comfortable with herself. This story kept me guessing until the end and I wanted a couple of characters to be guilty just because I didn’t like them! Thank you Ms. Cleeves!

Best Vera Novel So Far!
Ann Cleeves has created the most interesting character in Vera that I have ever encountered infection. She is intelligent, acerbic, and absolutely delightful! Each novel tells us more about the main character, and in this third book, she is the most well-developed so far. I wish I knew a woman like Vera.

Another Classic From Anne Cleeves
I don’t know how she continues to generate new material and fresh ideas but she always does. I’ve read probably 20 of her books and have never been disappointed. Each new story is captivating, well developed and holds attention til the end. I love that I am never able to guess who the killer is. It is so refreshing to be surprised each and every time. She is such a talented author, a fabulous storyteller. The narration is also fantastic. A wonderful experience. Thank you.
