The Herons Cry- Blog Tour
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
Publishing Date: 2nd September
Many thanks to the publishing team for the physical and Random Things Tours for organising
The number one Sunday Times bestselling series featuring Detective Matthew Venn, from author and creator of the Vera and Shetland series, Ann Cleeves – soon to be a major TV series.
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. 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 she 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 crime series, following her Sunday Times bestseller, The Long Call.

I didn't realise this was the second instalment to the series but there isn't too much to get lost into. It was easy to follow and the characters were well thawed out that you got to know them really well.
There's a murder and Dr Nigel Yeo is the victim. As the story progresses more bodies start to be found and it gets you thinking is there a connection. Are they linked and do they all have something in common. What I really liked was how you were taken in by the story and it wasn't rushed. So you were able to absorb all the characters, and the connections and links between some. I don't want to give too much information about the story line as it will give it away.
There was a lot of focus on the characters and location and they embodied the story. The theme focused on how people with guilt whether it is in the present or past tense. It look at family and friends dynamics and explored how individuals deal with certain situations.
I am really glad I was on this tour and I will sure be picking up book 1 and even more excited to learn it will be a TV series.
