The Heron's Cry by Ann Cleeves

5.0

“The Herons Cry" by Ann Cleeves the 2nd instalment in her Two Rivers Mystery Series. Which I’m super excited is being made into a tv series like her Shetland and Vera books.

I enjoyed going back to North Devon and the world of DI Mathew Venn, and his quirks but I liked how the author also let’s us see into the lives of the other characters just as much. We learned a lot more this time, and I liked how Lucy still played a part.

The story focused on mental illness, and the stress it can have on the NHS, family and the person suffering. The mystery had lots of sub plots that it kept me guessing till the very end.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery.

I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from the publisher and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I have also pre-ordered hardcover copy for my home library
