Three couples, early retirees who have escaped to the country and are living in a barn conversion are at the heart of this story. Anne Cleeves weaves her love of the natural world into the book through information about moths and the two moth catchers who are victims of murder. As always her characters are complex and believable, and we learn more about Holly and her personal battles. A great read and a stand alone for anyone who hasn't watched the Vera series on television or read the other Vera books. And a great read for Escape to the Country viewers too.

Another great addition to the Vera series. Definitely go back and read the first novels before this one though. Not as suspenseful as some of the earlier books but still a great read.

Clever plot
Always well thought out Murder mystery
