While giving a lesson at a prison Vera is confronted by a crooked cop she helped send there. He tells her he has information on a long time missing person. Vera checks his facts and discovers the body but another body is there too.
I really like the characters and the way the story flowed along. I will definitely be reading more of her books.

Oh my, whenever a book grabs my attention, I always have to delay finishing it. A lot of
boring house chores were done today in order to avoid the end of this story. Ann Cleeves
has been one of my favourite writers for years now and Vera Stanhope is one of my top
three characters. Highly recommend this book.
