The day they found the body on the shore, Matthew Venn was already haunted by thoughts of death and dying. As a teenager, Ann Cleeves lived in North Devon, and that familiarity infuses The Long Call with accuracy and a certain nostalgia, particularly since Detective Inspector Matthew Venn has to revisit his past in the course of the investigation. The Long Call is the first of her two-part Two Rivers series set in North Devon. It’s cause for rejoicing when British mystery writer Ann Cleeves gifts us with a new series. The Long Call by Ann Cleeves―bestselling and award-winning author of the Vera and Shetland series, both of which are hit TV shows―is the first in the gripping new Two Rivers series set in North Devon and featuring Detective Inspector Matthew Venn. ![]()
