My Thoughts
Vera is an exiting series that features a strong female lead in the role of detective Vera Stanhope. The mysteries are always unique and original and every episode is brimming over with suspense and subtle British humor. This set includes four fantastic feature-length episodes.
Natural Selection - The body of a wildlife ranger is discovered on an island, and Vera is in charge of the investigation.
Dark Angel - A drug addict's body is found in the river, but Vera discovers the death connected to a case from her past.
Broken Promise - A brilliant university student falls to this death, but the circumstances are suspicious. Vera is on the case.
The Blanket Mire - The body of a teenager is discovered in the moors. Vera must uncover the secrets of the victim to find the killer.
I absolutely love this series. However, there is a lot of violence and graphic imagery, so this series is definitely for mature audience only. If you want to take advantage a whole set of great mysteries, this is the series for you. You can order Vera, Set 6 on DVD for only $59.99 at Acorn Media. You can also find it on Amazon.
