Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Digits along green 'German Whisper' lines must differ by at least 5 from their neighbors along that line.
Digits separated by a 'V' sum to 5, not all Vs are given.
If you would like an easier puzzle with this same ruleset to get you in the right frame of mind, try 'CV' If you're having trouble with the break-in, my puzzle 'HyperBan' might teach you an interesting fact about Sudoku grids that can help here.
Solution code: Digits in row 1 (left to right) followed by the digits in row 9 (left to right)

I needed help to figure out the break-in, but it was such a joy to solve this puzzle! So many amazing discoveries until the very end!

added link to 'hyperban' puzzle, which I hope does a good job teaching a fact about sudoku geometry that can help with the break-in for 'gossip circle'.

Very nice. More difficult than it initially looks.
