7/5/2023 0 Comments The crow trap![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I really appreciated Vera with her acerbic wit and strange investigative style, and her long-suffering sidekick, Sergeant Joe Ashworth. Perhaps I did drift off, because I didn't immediately click that the bag lady was Vera, until later! It picked up momentum after Vera came on the scene, and I liked the second half of the book a lot better than the first. I thought the way Ann Cleeves chose to kick off the story was different, but I was pleased when Grace was found murdered as I was on the verge of beginning to worry about boredom setting in. In The Crow Trap, neither Rachael, Anne nor Grace were really my cup of tea, though if asked to state a preference, I would have chosen Anne. This is particularly odd as I have lived in the Northumberland area for nearly all of my life! Astonishingly, the only other book I have read by Ann Cleeves is The Long Call, at the end of last year. My first foray into the Vera Stanhope series was quite a surprise to say the least, but a very enjoyable one. ![]()
