Vera will be forced to confront secrets from her past in a 'sinister' series finale this weekend. And the final episode of the hit show's current run has been given the seal of approval by none other than creator Ann Cleeves.
The author told fans they "won't want to miss" the episode, which airs on Sunday night. It sees DCI Vera Stanhope coming across an abandoned car with a baby inside on a stormy night.
With no mobile signal and blocked roads at every turn, Vera is forced to seek refuge somewhere she'd rather not be - Brockburn House, the Stanhope family's ancestral pile. Show bosses say events then take a sinister turn when a body is found on the track leading to the residence.
