But that is changing and it is fast becoming one of the county's most vibrant locations, with the help of exciting business launches and huge new investment, including government heritage grants which are transforming the area. It's a neatly crafted piece of work, and a reminder that the great success that Ann has enjoyed in recent years, both with these books and the Shetland novels starring another likeable cop, Jimmy Perez, is well deserved."

The gating off of the street last December, making Harbour Street pedestrian only during the day, has also contributed to making the road feel much more shopper-friendly.This isn't the best place to take your children. You will have to have conversations about subjects that may be waiting until they get older. While some people offering to sell marijuana to me were discrete, there were others that would do so in front of the kids.

In Newcastle, Detective Joe Ashworth and his daughter Jessie travel home on the busy Metro. The train is stopped unexpectedly, and Jessie sees that one woman doesn’t leave with the other passengers: Margaret Krukowski has been fatally stabbed. There aren’t any witnesses to the crime apparently so Vera has to head off to Mardle to discover what she can. But no one wants to talk. It seems everyone has a secret. The building is owned by sisters Bella Landen and Sophie Hubble, who secured a capital grant via the High Street Heritage Action Zone scheme to restore its fine historic architecture and convert the internal building from disused retail area into a vibrant space. Arriving at the scene, DI Vera Stanhope is relieved to have an excuse to escape the holiday festivities. As she stands on the silent, snow-covered station platform, Vera feels a familiar buzz of anticipation, sensing that this will be a complex and unusual case. Soon Vera and Joe are on their way to the south Northumberland town of Mardle, where Margaret lived, to begin their inquiry.
