The Two Rivers Series, Book 2 Detective Matthew Venn is called out to a rural crime scene at the home of a group of artists. Dr Nigel Yeo has been fatally stabbed with a shard of one of his glassblower daughter's broken vases. Then another body is found--killed in a similar way. Matthew needs to find the killer before they strike again. Complex characters drive this plot. This is a mystery full of surprises and Ann Cleeves is at the top of her game as she holds her cards close to her chest and the murderer is hard to figure out until the very end. Set in North Devon, this series is soon to be a TV series along with Shetland and Vera. If you like mysteries that are hard to solve, then you should read this series. I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a free copy for an honest review.
