The Crow Trap – Ann Cleeves

On October 16, 2019October 1, 2019 By bookskepticIn Reviews1 Comment

It is the first book in the Vera Stanhope series. A rarity for me to actually start at the beginning. I have not seen the tv series either, so went into it not really knowing what to expect.

This was unexpected, but the unexpected sometimes happens and it's not always a bad thing. I officially completed my #20booksofsummer reading on Saturday, more than a month early. Last year I struggled a lot more to finish on time, so what was different this year? No teeth problems to start with, not that those months …
