If the formula is contrived it is also highly effective: it not only allows plots as labyrinthine as Fast Love’s to be unravelled, but it gives ample time for subtle portrayals such as Blethyn’s to breathe. Time with Vera, no matter what murky mystery she’s investigating, is time well spent.

I thought this was one of Vera's simpler plotlines. .... More interesting was the way that Vera and Joe slowly warmed to each other again, despite Vera suspecting he was a "company man" backstabber and he thinking she was a dinosaur who used computers older than him.

As a January pick-me-up, Vera went down easily. But Danny was such an unpleasant piece of work that it was hard to become invested in the hunt for his killer.
