I love Anne Cleeves' Vera and Shetland series, both in books and films. This mystery introduces a new character. Matthew Venn, like Vera Stanhope and Jimmy Perez, is a wounded person. Whether it is the death of a parent, the loss of a partner, or the rejection of a family, each has suffered punishing blows that do not defeat them, but still color their lives and / or make them more acute assessors of other humans or cause them to doubt themselves. Each has a a kind heart. This new mystery is complex and twisting. There are many suspects. I had not put all the connections together until the end - a fact that I appreciate. I look forward to learning more about Matthew Venn and his husband. Highly recommend all three series. Kristi & Abby Tabby
