The Darkest Evening by Ann Cleves
The Darkest Evening by Ann CleevesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was my very first Vera Stanhope novel. and it was a great introduction to this series. But be warned if you're looking for a fast-paced thriller this is not it. This novel takes you through the meticulous steps of investigating what happened to a young woman who was found dead in the snow.
On a snowy night as Vera Stanhope heads home, she misses a turn and becomes lost. She comes upon a car that has skidded off the road, its front door open and no driver visible. As she investigates she hears a cry from the car and discovers a toddler still strapped in the back seat.
With no cell signal, she travels to the nearest home which just happens to be Brockburn. The estate where her father once called home. Inside there's a dinner party taking place and while Vera waits for the blizzard to pass and more information on the vehicle left in the road. The body of a young woman is discovered outside in the snow.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley.
