The Seagull is Ann Cleeves' searing eighth novel in the bestselling Vera Stanhope series, about corruption deep in the heart of a community, and about fragile, and fracturing, family relationships.
Ann Cleeves is the author behind ITV's Vera and BBC One's Shetland. She has written over twenty-five novels, and is the creator of detectives Vera Stanhope and Jimmy Perez - characters loved both on screen and in print. Her books have now sold millions of copies worldwide.
The Seagull brilliantly evokes the run-down seaside resort of
Whitley Bay . . . a mystery as satisfying as anything Cleeves has
written.

An excellent, atmospheric mystery. Ann Cleeves is our Queen in the
North, and The Seagull another jewel in her crown.

Millions will be familiar with Brenda Blethyn’s portrayal of Vera
in the television series of the same name but Cleeves’ engaging
prose provides a much deeper, subtler insight into an intriguing
and likeable character . . . readers will enjoy Vera’s relentless
quest for the truth in this astutely observed, atmospheric crime
novel.

I loved The Seagull - quite simply it reminds me why Ann Cleeves is

Vera with each book, and The Seagull provides fresh insight into
one of our most complex and lovable sleuths.
