I am reviewing a copy of The Long Call through St. Martin’s Press and Minotaur Books and Netgalley:

Detective Matthew Venn stands outside a church in North Devon, where the two rivers converge and run into the sea. He is there as his estranged father’s funeral is taking placing. After Matthew left left the strict evangelical community he grew up in, he not only left the community but he also lost his family.

Just as he turns to walk away again he receives a call from someone on his team. There has been a body found on the beach, a man with a tattoo of an albatross on his neck. The man has been stabbed to death.

Matthew finds himself being called back to the people and places of his past with this case. And deadly secrets at their hearts are revealed. He finds his new life is on a collision course with the life he had thought he had left behind.

I give The Long Call five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
