When is Vera back on TV?

Vera arrives back to our screens 8pm Sunday 9th April.

A body is found buried on the Northumberland moors which could be a missing teenager from the nearby rural community of Brindale. The girl had disappeared six weeks previously, and Verahas to break the news to her devastated family.

However, the realisation that she died so close to home rather than at a music festival as originally thought creates tension among her neighbours, who are soon suspecting each other of murder. The detective delves into the vulnerable young woman's isolated existence to identify her killer. Last in the series.
