About this listen
Vera Stanhope, star of ITV’s Vera, returns in the tenth novel in number one bestseller Ann Cleeves’s acclaimed series.
Fifty years ago, a group of teenagers spent a weekend on Holy Island, forging a bond that has lasted a lifetime. Now, they still return every five years to celebrate their friendship, and remember the friend they lost to the rising waters of the causeway at the first reunion.
Now, when one of them is found hanged, Vera is called in. Learning that the dead man had recently been fired after misconduct allegations, Vera knows she must discover what the friends are hiding, and whether the events of many years before could have led to murder then, and now . . .
But with the tide rising, secrets long-hidden are finding their way to the surface, and Vera and the team may find themselves in more danger than they could have believed possible . . .
Critic reviews
'In a world where celebrities debut on bestseller charts, Cleeves is an old-school crime writer in every sense, working her way up the list over years, building a readership while honing her craft.' Brian McGilloway
'Birkett is superb at creating voices for the diverse cast of relatable characters who are imbued with unique accents and distinct personalities. Her engaging narrative style sweeps the listener along, generating suspense and a thoroughly compelling listen.' - AudioFile

Gripping story
Another superb story from Ann Cleeves in the unusual setting of Holy Island. The characters & setting provide a dramatic setting for a compelling story of lost love, revenge , greed which results in murder from within the group of friends who first met 50 years ago at this location.
The subsequent lives & circumstances of the participants lead to the dramatic murders which Vera & her team most solve, through revisiting the past & uncovering long hidden secrets.
An excellent story , well read .

Ann Cleeves at her best
I am a big fan of the Vera Stanhope series generally, but this has been one of the best. I enjoyed it over a few evenings and, without spoiling it for those who have not read it, all I can say is WOW! Great character development and excellent plot. Highly recommended.
