The final episode of Vera Stanhope delves into the detective's past, revealing a glimpse into her childhood and complicated relationship with her father. A murder investigation intertwines with this personal journey, leading Vera to confront a new mystery involving a missing teenager.
Brenda Blethyn 's final outing as Vera Stanhope told an unusually personal and revealing story about the detective's past
The site of the flashback – three upright stones known as “The Dark Wives” on the fictional Ghyllstead Moor – was where, in the modern day, a local birder had discovered the body of a student named Josh who had been stabbed to death. Tracing his killing to the children’s home where he volunteered, Vera found herself facing another mystery: the disappearance of 16-year-old Chloe, one of the home’s residents.
At this point, things got a little darker than Vera generally tends to go with an upsetting second murder and commentary on the profiteering of private care providers .The climax – which took place during the “Witch Hunt”, a local pagan tradition – veered a little towards comedy when it should have been frightening, but the actual case wasn’t really the point.
