Summary
Introducing Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope.
The Crow Trap is the first book in Ann Cleeves’ Vera Stanhope series.
Everyone has something to hide . . .
Three very different women come together at an isolated cottage on the North Pennines to complete an environmental survey. Three women who each know the meaning of betrayal...
Rachael, the team leader, is still reeling after a double betrayal by her lover and boss. Anne, a botanist, sees the survey as a chance to indulge in a little deception of her own. And then there is Grace, a strange, uncommunicative young woman, hiding plenty of her own secrets.
Rachael is the first to arrive at the cottage, but when she gets there she is shocked to discover an apparent suicide. But then another death occurs, and a fourth woman enters the picture – the unconventional Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope, who must piece together the truth from these women’s tangled lives...
Enjoy more of Vera Stanhope’s investigations with Telling Tales, Hidden Depths, and Silent Voices.

A very good detective story
After watching the Vera TV show, seeing this audiobook made me want to listen to it. The narrator is very good and it's great to listen to on a long walk. I must recommend it.

Good twist at the end
Really enjoyed it. The background of setting the story at the beginning did seem odd but I understood it as the story unfolded. Very good listen

Keeps you guessing
As with many good mysteries this one keeps its audience guessing as to who the perpetrator is.

Slow but good
This book is a little slow for my tastes, but it’s good nonetheless. There were a couple of pronunciations that don’t match with what I perceive to be correct, but they didnt ruin the story.

Perfectly woven story with characters that develop and grow as the story progresses.
Bit slow to engage the reader but worth the wait as it is beautifully written to draw you into the story.

More padded than my exam papers
This book seems to just ramble with great sections being unnecessary as though the author had a minimum target number of words.

Vera who?
would like to exchange it for something else; boring
It's not until midway through the book that Vera turns up.
