ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Ann Cleeves's "The Long Call" introduces Detective Inspector Matthew Venn in the evocative setting of North Devon, where the discovery of a body on the beach sets in motion a complex murder investigation. Venn, an outsider due to his past within a strict religious community, must unravel the secrets of a seemingly close-knit society. The investigation draws him into the heart of the Woodyard, a community center with diverse connections to the victim and other intriguing individuals. The narrative explores themes of hidden truths, the weight of the past, and the tension between outward appearances and inner realities as Venn seeks to uncover the motive behind the crime.
