Vera is een Britse detectiveserie van de ITV1. De serie ging in première op 1 mei 2011.
Vera volgt het leven van Inspecteur Vera Stanhope, Chef van de Recherche. Vera gaat samen met haar vertrouwde en moedige collega Sergeant Joe Ashwort, haar rechterhand elke nieuwe zaak in met veel enthousiasme en professionaliteit.
After two young people are killed in the same way - placed in water and surrounded by flowers - DCI Vera Stanhope knows that she must catch the murderer before they strike again. Aided by her team, especially her trusted right-hand man Sgt Joe Ashworth, she unpicks the complex and dysfunctional relationships amongst a group of bird-watching friends. As the friends' loyalty turns to betrayal, Vera finds that a small act of teenage blackmail and an illicit affair may have driven someone to kill.
