Normally, I prefer books over movies/tv series/etc, because books offer more substance. When books are made into movies, elements are left out or rearranged, usually to the detriment of telling the story. In full disclosure, I have yet to read Ann Cleeves’ books as I only just discovered the TV series when it aired on my local PBS station last year. I will read the books at the earliest convenient time. I just love Brenda Blethyn in whatever project she chooses, and the Vera Stanhope shows are absolutely brilliant!!! I am looking forward to when the next seriest airs here in Dallas, TX.
