Called “One of the best mysteries…in the last decade” (The Baltimore Sun), Edgar-winner Vera follows a cantankerous but brilliant detective who solves unthinkable crimes in northeast England. Two-time Oscar nominee Brenda Blethyn imbues DCI Vera Stanhope with “a monumental intelligence” (The Guardian) in this hit detective drama inspired by Ann Cleeves’ bestselling crime fiction.
FYI, Acorn TV has all seven seasons available for streaming.
And Malice Domestic announced this week that Brenda Blethyn will be the Poirot Award Honoree for Malice Domestic 30. Ms. Blethyn is the Academy Award and Emmy nominated, Golden Globe winning actress who stars as DCI Vera Stanhope in the series Vera, based on the books by Ann Cleeves.

Vera is a wonderful series. I liked the Shetland ones too, but Vera is just special. Although some writers speak far better than they write, Ann Cleeves is a delight in both. I got sold on her Stanhopes and am reading in order. Just as much fun in a slightly different way as the TV series.
I recently discovered Vera on Acorn TV, caught up now, really enjoy it. Have Ann Cleeves on my TBR list to check out the books next.
