About this listen
Now a major ITV series, The Long Call, adapted for television by screenwriter Kelly Jones and starring Ben Aldridge.
The number one Sunday Times best-selling series featuring Detective Matthew Venn, from author and creator of the Vera and Shetland series, Ann Cleeves.
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 best seller The Long Call.

"Jack Holden demonstrates his full talents in this mystery, bringing the extensive cast of characters in this small and close-knit community in Devon to life with his strong narration. This is particularly apparent as he seamlessly moves between a variety of British regional accents in many of the dialogue scenes. Holden's characterisations of both the male and female characters are strong and he creates a likeable and believable pair in the DI and his husband. His spot-on timing helps keep the story moving towards its surprising end, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable listen." (AudioFile)
"Matthew Venn is a keeper...stunning." (David Baldacci)

Immersive
Credible characters with their own fears and frailties. I couldn’t pick it and wasn’t sure how it would end.

Engrossing
I enjoyed this audible narration very much. The threads carried over from the first novel are excellent.

Great plot, kept me guessing ..
Enjoyed the depth of the characters, excellent story line, also enjoy the continuity of characters from the first book. Narrator is easy to listen to and as a person born and bred in Liverpool, I didn’t think Jen’s voice was too bad at all !

Hard to follow
For me this noble was hard to follow on audible media. There were so many characters with unusual names and limited descriptions. I’m sure if I’d read it or seen it in television I would have liked it much more.

I loved this story
Complicated and interesting right to the end. Twists and turns with relatable and compassionate characters.
I want to hear more from this group of down to earth investigators.

Good story and narration
Interesting storyline.
Fabulous clear narration with excellent regional accents, pace and timbre.
Annoying switching between use of first name and surname for Matthew.
So many characters to remember who is who.
Overall a good read.
