TWO-TIME OSCAR NOMINEE BRENDA BLETHYN (Pride and Prejudice, Atonement) is “excellent” (The Guardian, UK) in this fan-favorite mystery series as Detective Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope.

A caustic but brilliant detective solving chilling crimes in the remote corners of rural Northumberland. Aided by right-hand man DS Joe Ashworth (David Leon, RocknRolla) and later by brash DS Aiden Healy (Kenny Doughty, Love, Lies and Records), Vera contends with the untamed evil that lurks below the surface and exposes the demons that plague even those who dedicate their lives to good. 

Based on the bestselling novels of Ann Cleeves, this collection of Sets 1-9 delivers suspenseful mysteries, compelling characters, and superb performances. Guest stars include Phyllis Logan (Downton Abbey), Rose Leslie (The Good Fight), Julie Graham (The Bletchley Circle), John Lynch (The Fall), Gina McKee (Notting Hill), Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), and Judy Parfitt (Call the Midwife).
