Įnjoy more of Vera Stanhope’s investigations with Telling Tales, Hidden Depths, and Silent Voices. But then another death occurs, and a fourth woman enters the picture – the unconventional Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope, who must piece together the truth from these women’s tangled lives. Rachael is the first to arrive at the cottage, but when she gets there she is shocked to discover an apparent suicide. And then there is Grace, a strange, uncommunicative young woman, hiding plenty of her own secrets. Anne, a botanist, sees the survey as a chance to indulge in a little deception of her own. Vera's crime-solving skills, however, are more than a match for the darkly fascinating cases that cross her path in northern England. Rachael, the team leader, is still reeling after a double betrayal by her lover and boss. Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope may not be the first person you'd think of for a heroine: she's overweight, a bit rough around the edges, and her staff knows when to stay out of her way. Three women who each know the meaning of betrayal. Three very different women come together at an isolated cottage on the North Pennines to complete an environmental survey.
