I'm having a little genre whiplash right now 😹 because right before #ILikeToWatch I was watching THE LONG CALL, a #MatthewVenn mystery by #AnnCleeves (author of the VERA and SHETLAND series) set in an isolated North Devon, UK coastal town, and one of the supporting characters was a church elder played by Martin Shaw (a\k\a #GeorgeGently ).

So I went from hardcore #TVMysteries to hardcore dance remixes 🤣🤣🤣

Happy birthday to Ann Cleeves, who has been a very generous interviewee, despite being very busy with “Shetland”, “Vera” and her new character, Matthew Venn. Unlike some crime writers, Ann eschews gory plots and serial killers in her books, which are filled with all-too-human characters. She’s a smashing human being! #AnnCleeves #Shetland #Vera #GraniteNoir #MatthewVenn https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/5730010/ann-cleeves-shetland-noir-fair-isle-crimes-most-memorable-sleuths/
