“The Heron's Cry" by Ann Cleeves 2021 1st/1st HC/DJ Detective Matthew Venn

Description: “The Heron's Cry" was written by Ann Cleeves and published by Minotaur Books in New York in 2021. This is a hardcover, first edition, first printing of this fine 382-page mystery, the second in Cleeves' new series featuring Detective Inspector Matthew Venn following his debut in "The Long Call" (see third photo for reviews of that book). Cleeves earlier created the hugely successful Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope and Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez characters for book and television ("Vera" and "Shetland"). The original price, as shown on the dustjacket front flap, was $27.99.From the dustjacket blurb:“North Devon is enjoying a rare hot summer, and Detective Matthew Venn is called out to investigate a murder at the rural home of a group of artists. What he discovers is an elaborately staged scene—Dr Nigel Yeo has been fatally stabbed with a shard of one of his glassblower daughter’s broken vases.“Dr. Yeo seems an unlikely victim: a good man, a public servant, beloved by his daughter, Eve. Matthew is unnerved, though, to find out that Eve is close friends with his husband, Jonathan. It also comes to light that Dr. Yeo had been investigating the suicide of a young man before he died.“Then, another man is found killed in the same way. Matthew must tread carefully through the lies that fester at the heart of his community, in a case that is dangerously close to home. New York Times bestselling author Ann Cleeves proves once that she is a master of her craft in this extraordinary follow-up to ‘The Long Call.’”The book is in fine, collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort. It is as new. The dustjacket is in equally fine shape and is protected in a clear and removable archival cover. Please see the photos for a fuller description and author profile.
