I enjoyed The Seagull by Ann Cleeves which is a "Vera" murder mystery. DI Vera Stanhope is asked by a former policeman John Brace (in prison for murder) to investigate the death of a friend 20 years previously. Brace gives Vera information that leads to a body being found, Robbie Marshall. Brace, Marshall and Vera's now deceased father, Hector, were a group of friends who traded in birds and their eggs. There was one other member of the group who mysteriously, is difficult to trace. These are great characters, including Vera's team - Joe, Holly and Charlie. There are a number of twists and turns in the story. As is usual with this author - a good read. 4/5
