Financial Times on THE HERON'S CRY
The Detective Matthew Venn, an austere character unable to shake off repressive Brethren upbringing, doesnât yet command the same affection as of Vera or Jimmy Perez (Shetland). However, human nature is as perceptively dissected as ever and the denouncement to this gripping tale is properly surprising.
