[close] I have read all of Ann Cleeves' Shetland Island series, and was intrigued with the setting and the origional storylines. I have also been a long time of the Vera Stanhope books of which Hidden Depths is the 3rd book. The setting for both sereis embaraces very different...but equally beautiful settings. Inspector Vera Stanhope is a very different protagonist This story is essentially a dark drama peopled with a cast of unhappy, spiritually wounded and struggling characters. Two murders have been committed. The victims are both very young and unusually beautiful. One is a young male and the other a young woman. Inspector Stanhope... a woman with personal issues of her own... starts out on an investigation that gradually sorts through suspects and their misdeeds, to track down the killer who is about to add a third victim. The story builds well toward the revel which is provided by numerous clues that readers will have to pay very close attention to throughout the book if they hope to solve it.
