Sponsored by the audiobook edition of The Darkest Evening by Ann Cleeves, read by Janine Birkett.
From Ann Cleeves – New York Times best-selling and author of the Vera and Shetland series – comes the stunning new Vera Stanhope novel, The Darkest Evening, read by Janine Birkett. On the first snowy night of winter, Vera finds a car has skidded off the narrow road in front of her and stops to help. There is no driver to be seen, so Vera assumes that the owner has gone to find help. But a cry calls her back: a toddler strapped in the back seat. As the blizzard traps the group deep in the freezing Northumberland countryside, Vera digs deeper into her investigation and begins to uncover her family’s complicated past.
