Rigtig god Vera Stanhope krimi. Oplæseren end fantastisk, selvom jeg ikke kan lide hendes måde at portrættere Joe på. Vera er hård ved sit hold og hun holder kortene tæt til kroppen, hvorefter hun nyder deres beundring…det er faktisk lidt komisk. Excentriske Vera, men en hjerne der kan rede trådene ud i det mest komplekse spind, men som samtidig har mindreværdskomplekser pga hendes fars behandling af hende. Som Vera ville sige, nu lyder jeg som en socialworker. Fantastisk skrevet. Tænk at have en hjerne der kan udtænke og holde styr på sådan en historie.
