Why read it?

2 authors picked Harbour Street as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love good mysteries and I love good storytelling. Ann Cleeves always delivers both. This is one of her Vera detective series, which also appears on BritBox with Brenda Blethyn as the opinionated and dogged detective-of-a-certain-age. Cleeves also writes the Shetland series, among others.
