    About this audiobook

    From Ann Cleeves—New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of the Vera and Shetland series, both of which are hit TV shows—comes Hidden Depths.

    “Ann Cleeves is one of my favorite mystery writers.”—Louise Penny

    On a hot summer on the Northumberland coast, Julie Armstrong arrives home from a night out to find her son murdered. Luke has been strangled, laid out in a bath of water and covered with wild flowers.

    This stylized murder scene has Inspector Vera Stanhope and her team intrigued. But now, Vera must work quickly to find this killer who is making art out of death. As local residents are forced to share their private lives, sinister secrets are slowly unearthed.

    And all the while the killer remains in their midst, waiting for an opportunity to prepare another beautiful, watery grave…

      This book is excellent (as are all of Ann Cleeves’ books), but this audio leaves a lot to be desired. Be prepared to have the end of most of the chapters cut off and to be left wondering what you missed (unless you have the book as well to check the end of all the chopped off chapters); sometimes it was just a word or two; sometimes it was much more. So very frustrating.

      Great book, but most chapter endings cut off in recording—this was annoying
