Love a killer mystery with a snappy plot and more twists and turns than a carnival funhouse? Enjoy characters so crisp they turn the pages for you? Partial to Louise Penny? Adore Paul Doiron? Rave about Donna Leon?
Then meet Ann Cleeves, the celebrated author of the fabulous Vera and Shetland mystery series. Thanks to a generous donation from the family of Carol M. Pletcher, Pillsbury Free Library now owns complete sets of Vera and Shetland.
DI Vera Stanhope (played by Brenda Blethyn on tv) is frumpy and bossy with a nose for murder. Only when Vera arrives on the scene, driving a beat-up, mud-spattered Land Rover, do investigations kick into high gear.
DI Jimmy Perez (played by Douglas Henshall on tv), finds murder aplenty to keep his small crew busy in the Shetlands. In the Shetland series, start with Raven Black, a story you're not likely to forget.
