I think I may have found my new favorite author! I absolutely LOVE the British Crime Drama, "Vera" and am so happy to have started reading this series. I am reading them out of order, I realize, but do not think that will in any way diminish my enjoyment of them. The bonus of being a fan of the TV show is that the main characters are so easy to picture and the writing brings the story to life. Ann Cleeves pacing is perfect, her characters are not but their flaws give them depth and make them believable. You want to know more about them. I also love the fact that we get glimpses into their thought processes and see how each of them approaches a case with their own methods. Brilliant! These books make me long for life in a small village or island somewhere on the coast (minus all the murder and mayhem) and are the perfect companion to a cup of tea and a plate of cookies.
