International award-winning actress Brenda Blethyn OBE stars in Vera, a new detective drama series adapted from the Vera Stanhope novels by revered novelist Ann Cleeves.
Inspector Stanhope is obsessive about her work and driven by her own demons. If she’s lonely she doesn’t show it and faces the world with caustic wit, guile and courage. Her trusted and long-suffering colleague is Joe Ashworth; he is her right-hand man and surrogate son. Together they approach every new case with unparalleled gusto and professionalism.
Vera is available to buy on iTunes
