the heron's cry two rivers book 2 ann cleeves

I was so glad to see that Lucy is still in the series and becoming more independent.Īnn has managed to produce a page turning thriller whilst setting it in a gentle background and growing the characters, both privately and professionally. The story continues with lots of twists and turns and secrets to be revealed. Meanwhile his husband, Jonathon, is starting to show an other side of his character, one which does not always align with Matthew’s work. Matthew continues to struggle with his upbringing in the brethren as he battles to keep his private and work life separate.

With the lazy, bullying DCI Joe Oldham in overall charge, the team resources are stretched to meet his demands whilst actually investigating the deaths. However he had been looking into a complaint by the family of a young man who had died after being discharged without follow up care from a mental health unit.Ī second person, who is also connected to Eve, turns up in similar circumstances. There is no obvious reason why anyone would want to murder Dr Yeo who worked for an organisation which monitors the health authority. When Eve goes into the workshop early, she finds her father, Dr Nigel Yeo, dead in a pool of blood, having been stabbed with a shard of glass from a vase which she had made for a client.ĭI Matthew Venn and his team are called to investigate.

This is the second book in the Two Rivers series and so different from The Shetland and Vera series.Įve Yeo is a glassblower who rents a flat and workshop on the Westacombe estate in North Devon. Many thanks to Ann and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of The Heron’s Cry.
