Description
Detective Matthew Venn, last seen in The Raging Storm, returns in the latest instalment of Ann Cleeves’s Two Rivers series. The bestselling author is also known for creating Vera and Shetland.
Venn is called to Tide House, a luxurious holiday home in North Devon, where a young woman has been found dead in the swimming pool. Her best friend has disappeared, and the property’s owner, rising political star Paul Armstrong, soon puts the case under intense media attention.
As a heatwave grips the area and further tragedy unfolds, Venn and his team investigate a community full of secrets. The two women were seen at a nearby music festival the day before—an event that brought locals and outsiders together, including people with unexpected ties to the Armstrongs.
With powerful family secrets and simmering local tensions to navigate, Venn must look beyond what people say—and pay attention to what they keep silent.
