Summary
'Narrator Ben Aldridge gives listeners the perfect introduction to Matthew Venn...it's a smashing start to a third series by Cleeves.' -- AudioFile Magazine

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

The Long Call from Ann Cleeves—bestselling and award-winning author of the Vera and Shetland series, both of which are hit TV shows—comes the first in a gripping new series, told with deep compassion and searing insight.

“Ann Cleeves is one of my favorite mystery writers.”—Louise Penny

In North Devon, where two rivers converge and run into the sea, Detective Matthew Venn stands outside the church as his estranged father’s funeral takes place. On the day Matthew left the strict evangelical community he grew up in, he lost his family too.

Now, as he turns and walks away again, he receives a call from one of his team. A body has been found on the beach nearby: a man with a tattoo of an albatross on his neck, stabbed to death.

The case calls Matthew back to the people and places of his past, as deadly secrets hidden at their hearts are revealed, and his new life is forced into a collision course with the world he thought he’d left behind.

Love Ann Cleeves' books but this one made me realize that her plots and characters are predictable. I've recognized it before but in this story, the evil church members, the corrupt business folks and the heroic outsiders are just laid bare. She can do better. These characters are so one dimensional that they distracted from the plot twists which I enjoy in all of her stories. I hope she will drop the stereotypes soon and give us characters that don't pander to the mob.
