"Ann Cleeves is one of my favorite mystery writers."--Louise Penny

When Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope finds the body of a woman in the steam room of her local gym, she wonders briefly if, for once, it's a death from natural causes. But closer inspection reveals bruises around the victim's throat....As she leads her team, Vera relishes the thrill she gets from running an investigation. Death has never made her feel so alive. But soon, the victim's past reveals a shocking secret at the heart of Vera's community, as she tries to stop a killer who wants deadly secrets kept silent.

Singular, complex, and fiercely loyal, Vera has quickly become an iconic British detective loved by millions both on the page and on-screen, and Silent Voices showcases Ann Cleeves as a writer at the peak of her powers.

Customer Reviews

The true Vera

I enjoyed the Vera mysteries on TV from my PBS station and wanted to read the original books to see how closely the TV series followed the books. Though I am not reviewing the tv series I admit the show follows the book very well. In some ways the book is better because it leaves more to your imagination. I enjoyed Cleeves style and found the book easy to follow.
