Indeed, Ann Cleeves makes each of the detectives come alive with their home life, their strengths and weaknesses. Matthew's home life with his husband Jonathan gives another layer of emotion.
The politicking is one aspect of the detective's job, but Ann Cleeves makes the interpersonal and the backstory a strong part of The Long Call.
Instead, Venn must balance the demands and laziness of his superior officer and the ego and flash of his younger detectives. A hard worker and a dedicated detective, Venn is not one to seek attention and prefers not to deal with the media. DI Venn is an unusual hero - gay, married and formerly part of a strict religious group. Set in a remote, beach and tourism town in North Devon, we follow Detective Matthew Venn and his loyal team of detectives. In The Long Call, Ann Cleeves introduces another detective hero and begins the Two Rivers Series. The case calls Matthew back into the community he thought he had left behind, as deadly secrets hidden at its heart are revealed, and his past and present collide.
