About this audiobook
From Ann Cleeves—New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of the Vera and Shetland series, both of which are hit TV shows—comes The Glass Room.
“Ann Cleeves is one of my favorite mystery writers.”—Louise Penny
DI Vera Stanhope is not one to make friends easily, but her hippy neighbors keep her well-supplied in homebrew and conversation, and somehow bonds have formed. When one of them goes missing, Vera tracks the young woman down to the Writer’s House, a country retreat where aspiring authors work on their stories. Things get complicated when a body is discovered, and Vera’s neighbor is found with a knife in her hand.
Calling in the team, Vera knows that she should hand the case over. She’s too close to the main suspect. But the investigation is too tempting, and she’s never been one to follow the rules. Somewhere there is a killer who has taken murder off the page and is making it real . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved It, true mystery with clues revealed to reader at conclusion.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Love Vera Stanhope. However, this one was VERY slow moving and the narrator was quite monotone
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Classic Vera. She’s a remarkable character. Love her interior voice and speculations about everyone around her—especially her team. Excellent plot—did not guess the end.
