Vera Shadows in the Sky (2011– ) Online

Dock safety manager Owen Thorne falls to his death from the top of a multi-storey car park. His family, including foster daughter Lila, adored him, but some blamed him for the accident that killed a young co-worker. The boy's father, Mick McKittrick, rang Owen the night he died and Lila's criminal father Logan also fought with him. Vera learns that he was in frequent touch with Hannah, a young runaway, though solely as a platonic helper, but then it transpires that they actually had a very different relationship, and another person in that relationship could well be Owen's killer.

Vera and Aidan walk into a troubled family in "Shadows in the Sky," the last episode of season 5.

A man, Owen, is found, face up, at the bottom of a car park. Did he commit suicide? Fall by accident? Or was he pushed? From the way he fell, it looks to Vera like he was pushed. In the investigation that follows, the man had problems at his job. A man died on his watch, after he claimed he had done the required safety checks. The man's father is seeking damages, but the case has been closed in favor of the company.

Owen's family consists of a wife, a son, and a young girl about to be adopted by them after they had fostered her for some time. A murder investigation puts the adoption in danger, but Vera can't leave anyone out of her investigation. His son is convinced that his father was having an affair, and a young woman he was spending time with, Hannah Ferris, is questioned.

But it's all more complicated than that.

Really interesting story and not easily figured out.

The landscape in this episode is beautiful, but so spare and desolate. Somehow it matches the show's atmosphere, though I find Vera has lightened up considerably over the years.

This episode contains a major flaw - the character Gloria is meant to be covering for Owen in the office at the same time as being admitted to a&e! Otherwise a good episode with plenty of possible suspects!
