About this book

“The Darkest Evening” is the ninth installment in Ann Cleeves’ Vera Stanhope series. The narrative kicks off on a wintry evening when Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope loses her way while returning home. She stumbles upon a car that has veered off the road, with a young child secured in the back seat.

Vera rescues the child and finds herself at Brockburn, a once-grand but now dilapidated house in Northumberland where her father was raised. Inside, a party is underway, but outside, a woman’s lifeless body lies in the snow. As a snowstorm isolates everyone within the house, Vera starts to untangle the mysteries of Brockburn and her family’s complex history.
