Cal McGill is an Edinburgh-based oceanographer, environmentalist and one-of-a-kind investigator. Using his knowledge of the waves - ocean currents, prevailing winds, shipping records - McGill can track where objects came from or where they've gone. It's a skill that can help solve mysteries ranging from disappearances to murder. Two severed feet wash up on two different islands off the coast of Scotland. Forensics shows that the feet belong to the same body.

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!

Vera Finds the Connection
Another enjoyable Vera mystery. Bodies in water, flowers floating over them. How are they connected?
Several suspects to consider, but all of them are connected. Yet, which one is the killer? An in depth investigation into each one's personality and life keeps the story interesting. Some are naturalists reminding Vera of her father's obsession.

Great Psychological Suspense
Detective Vera Stanhope and her sidekick are on the trail of another murderer but this time author Cleeves throws adultery into the mix for some riveting listening. Vera is her usual acerbic, sarcastic self. The skilled narrator kept me coming back for more.#Female Protagonist #Suspense #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

One of the best
I love all the Ann Cleeves books, but this was one of the best. Marvelous characters are always a wonderful part of her stories, and this one has a very interesting group to be sorted by the inimitable Vera Stanhope.
