- Book 2 of 4: Detective Matthew Venn
The number one Sunday Times bestselling series featuring Detective Matthew Venn, from author and creator of the iconic Vera and Shetland crime series, Ann Cleeves. Now a major ITV series, The Long Call.
‘Matthew Venn is a keeper . . . stunning’ – David Baldacci
North Devon is enjoying a rare hot summer with tourists flocking to its coast-line. Detective Matthew Venn is called out to a rural crime scene at the home of a group of artists. What he finds is an elaborately staged murder – Dr Nigel Yeo has been fatally stabbed. His daughter, Eve, is a glassblower, and the murder weapon is a shard of one of her broken vases.
Dr Yeo seems an unlikely murder victim. He’s a good man, a public servant, beloved by his daughter. Matthew is unnerved though to find that Eve is a close friend of Jonathan, his husband.
Then another body is found – killed in a similar way. Matthew finds himself treading carefully through the lies that fester at the heart of his community and a case that is dangerously close to home . . .
The Heron’s Cry is the second novel in Ann Cleeves’ Two Rivers series following her Sunday Times bestseller, The Long Call.
Praise for The Long Call:
‘Had me hooked . . . a promising beginning to another fine chapter in the Ann Cleeves’ story’ – The Times
‘A triumph that cements Cleeves’ status as one of Britain’s best crime writers’ – Daily Express
‘Clever, compassionate and atmospheric . . . I am already a Matthew Venn fan’ – Elly Griffiths, award-winning author of The Crossing Places
‘Cleeves combines a flair for evoking sense of place with a thoughtful, complex plot’ – Mail on Sunday
‘A traditional mystery of the best sort’ – The Guardian
