About this listen

Hidden Depths is the third audiobook in Ann Cleeves’s Vera Stanhope detective series – which is now a major ITV crime drama starring Brenda Blethyn as Vera.

A killer who is making an art out of murder . . .

A hot summer on the Northumberland coast and Julie Armstrong arrives home from a night out to find her son strangled, laid out in a bath of water and covered with wild flowers.

This stylized murder scene has captured Inspector Vera Stanhope’s attention. And then another body is discovered in a rock pool, the corpse again strewn with flowers. Vera must work quickly to find this killer who is making art out of death.

As local residents are forced to share their deepest, darkest secrets, the killer watches, waits and plans to prepare another beautiful, watery grave . . .

Enjoy more of Vera Stanhope's investigations with Silent Voices, the next entry in the Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling crime series.
