概要

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.

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 Venn is a keeper. A stunning debut for Cleeves’ latest crimefighter (David Baldacci, bestselling author of The 6:20 Man, on The Long Call)
Had me hooked – a promising beginning to another fine chapter in the Ann Cleeves story (The Times on The Long Call)
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, bestselling author of The Black Wolf)
Clever, compassionate and atmospheric, with a great cast of new characters to love. I am already a Matthew Venn fan (Elly Griffiths, author of The Frozen People on The Long Call)
A triumph that cements Cleeves’ status as one of Britain’s best crime writers (Daily Express on The Long Call)
Brilliant, 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 The Long Call – her native Devon is wonderfully evoked, and Matthew Venn is a very appealing new detective. Another sure-fire hit (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 a flair for evoking sense of place with a thoughtful, complex plot (Mail on Sunday on The Long Call)
The troubled Venn is a great protagonist, and Cleeves may well have created her next top TV cop (Heat Magazine on The Long Call)
A traditional mystery of the best sort (The Guardian on The Long Call)
Evocative and gripping – an absolute triumph (Daily Mirror on The Long Call)
Nobody does unsettling undercurrents better than Ann Cleeves (Val McDermid, award-winning author of Silent Bones)
Cleeves is quietly carving out a reputation as the new Queen of Crime
The Queen of the detective novel, thrilling millions of readers
