Ho hum.  I loved Cleeves’ Shetland Island series with Jimmy Perez and I read every book.  But this Vera Stanhope thing just did not do it for me.  I don’t know why not. Perhaps it’s just the lack of focus during this time of the Covid and elections and Halloween.  I’m having a hard time with focus and this book is not a “page-turner” in the normal sense.  I don’t even want to reread to see what I missed.  But I won’t send it back because I don’t know if it was the book’s problem or temporary thing of mine – I think my problem but it’s more than focus.
