Now a major ITV series, The Long Call, adapted for television by screenwriter Kelly Jones and starring Ben Aldridge.

'Matthew Venn is a keeper . . . stunning' – David Baldacci

The number one Sunday Times bestselling series featuring Detective Matthew Venn, from author and creator of the Vera and Shetland series, Ann Cleeves.

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 . . .

The Heron's Cry is the second novel in Ann Cleeves’ Two Rivers crime series, following her Sunday Times bestseller, The Long Call.

批評家のレビュー

As a huge fan of both the Shetland and Vera series of books, I had high expectations for Cleeves’ latest. Matthew <b>Venn is a keeper</b>. A <b>stunning </b>debut for Cleeves’ latest crimefighter (David Baldacci on THE LONG CALL)
<b>Had me hooked</b> – a promising beginning to another fine chapter in the Ann Cleeves story
In Matthew Venn, Ann has created a complex, daring, subtle character . . . an emotional thriller, where lives are exploded and perceptions twisted and shattered. It is a brilliant achievement of quiet dread and explosive secrets. (Louise Penny)
<b>Clever, compassionate and atmospheric</b>, with a great cast of new characters to love. I am already a Matthew Venn fan (Elly Griffiths on THE LONG CALL)
A triumph that cements Cleeves’ status as <b>one of Britain</b><b>’</b><b>s best crime writers</b> - Daily Express
<b>Brilliant</b>, thoughtful and deeply engaging (Sara Paretsky, New York Times bestselling author of the V.I. Warshawski series on THE LONG CALL)
Ann Cleeves’ new series gets off to a terrific start with <i>The Long Call </i>– her native Devon is wonderfully evoked, and Matthew Venn is a very appealing new detective.<b> Another sure-fire hit</b> (Martin Edwards, author of Gallows Court, on THE LONG CALL)
Jack Holden demonstrates his full talents in this mystery, bringing the extensive cast of characters in this small and close-knit community in Devon to life with his strong narration. This is particularly apparent as he seamlessly moves between a variety of British regional accents in many of the dialogue scenes. Holden's characterizations of both the male and female characters are strong, and he creates a likeable and believable pair in the DI and his husband. His spot-on timing helps keep the story moving towards its surprising end, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
Cleeves combines<b> a flair for evoking sense of place</b> with a thoughtful, complex plot
The troubled Venn is a great protagonist, and<b> Cleeves may well have created her next top TV cop</b>
A traditional mystery of the best sort
Evocative and gripping – an absolute triumph
