I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and MacMillan UK Audio and I am leaving this review voluntarily
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 with a shard of one of his glassblower daughter's 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.
I have not read The Long Call so this was a new series to me, but I was no way hampered by that. The characters are all very likeable and Cleeves spends a lot of time discussing the relationships and backgrounds of the characters.
Overall this is an entertaining adventure. I didn't work out who the killer was before it was revealed. For fans of thriller and Ann Cleeves I would highly recommend this book.
