This case was different from anything Vera had ever worked before. Two bodies, connected but not lying together. And nothing made her feel as alive as murder.

Not a new book but worth reading. It’s a Vera Stanhope story in which she and her team are investigate the deaths of two unlikely friends. One a well-spoken, privately educated younger man who was house-sitting in a large manor house and whose body lies dead in a ditch just outside the grounds; and the other, his friend, a middle-aged, cheaply dressed man who was found dead in the flat which had been used by the house-sitter inside the manor house.
The only neighbours nearby are four couples who live along a lane leading to the estate. All are early retired and pretending to enjoy their rather aimless country lifestyle. Vera and her team find it was the collecting and studying of moths that linked the two dead men together. But why should this lead to their deaths? This is another very enjoyable whodunnit from Ann Cleeves.
