Vera spoilers
A synopsis of the Recovery episode shares: “DCI Vera Stanhope is called to the scene of a murdered support worker, Angela Konan, found hidden among the bleak woodlands of Northumberland National Park. The location is so remote; was this an attack of opportunity or a carefully planned ambush?
“Noel Henderson and Stanley Booth, the two park rangers who reported the body appear oddly evasive when questioned if they knew the victim. Vera soon discovers Angela worked tirelessly for a women’s addiction recovery centre, yet her manager Darlene Houghton, and colleagues had no relationship with her outside the refuge.
“Vera and her team must peel back the layers of their introverted victim to uncover her closely guarded secrets and surprising depths.
“It appears an increasingly erratic Angela clashed with two clients in the week before she died, rashly evicting Aysiha Nassar, while becoming ever-more personally involved in the life of Beth Draper, a recovering addict desperate to reunite with her daughter, Maya.
“Vera trains her keen, insightful mind on what was driving Angela to learn the truth about her tragic death.”
