"Silent Voices" by Ann Cleeves: my introduction to Vera
"Silent Voices" is a routine British crime novel, set among the rural villages in the northeast part of the country.
Vera Stanhope is the Detective Inspector; she's not routine at all; of course she's brilliant, but rather like a female version of Columbo. Middle aged, overweight, under-styled with a failure to delegate chores of detective work to the appropriate subordinates.
There is a series of novels about her and her team. These have been adapted for TV; I have not been able to find the DVD's in my local library or else I would watch a season or tow.
