Ep 2. Tuesday's Child

Detective Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope returns for Season 6 of Vera, the popular British crime drama. In episode 2, titled "Tuesday's Child," Vera investigates a murder in the seemingly idyllic community of Elvet. The body of a young woman, Lizzie Faulkner, is discovered in the river, and Vera quickly realizes that her death wasn't accidental.

Vera and her team begin interviewing Lizzie's friends and family, searching for any clues that might lead them to a suspect. They learn that Lizzie was a troubled woman with a history of addiction and mental health issues. She had recently been released from rehab and was trying to get her life back on track, but it seems that someone was determined to keep her from turning things around.

As Vera delves deeper into Lizzie's life, she discovers that the victim was involved in a complicated web of relationships with several men who had all been vying for her affection. Could jealousy and obsession have led one of them to commit murder?

Meanwhile, Vera is also dealing with personal issues. Her father, who she has a strained relationship with, has come to visit her. As she tries to solve the case, she must also navigate the complicated emotions that come with family dynamics.

As always, Vera uses her unorthodox methods to get to the truth, including some clever maneuvering with a local priest who may have information about Lizzie's death. The tension builds as the investigation uncovers secrets and lies that threaten to tear the close-knit community of Elvet apart.

With its stunning Northumberland setting and complex characters, "Tuesday's Child" is a compelling addition to the Vera series. Fans of the show will be thrilled to see Vera back in action and using her sharp mind to solve yet another puzzling case.
