Matthew Venn is a keeper…stunning' David Baldacci
The No.1 <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling series featuring Detective Matthew Venn, from author and creator of the <i>Vera </i>and <i>Shetland </i>series, Ann Cleeves – soon to be a major TV series.
North Devon is enjoying a rare hot summer with tourists flocking to its coastline. 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 she 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 . . .
<i>The Heron's Cry</i> is the second novel in Ann Cleeves’ Two Rivers following her <i>Sunday Times </i>bestseller, <i>The Long Call. </i>
