Ann Cleeves: The Raging Storm
Two Rivers #3
Ann Cleeves goes from strength to strength. The third novel in her Matthew Venn series finds Matthew investigating a crime in a village he’d visited as a child. The book opens with the raging storm of the title, and no one is better than Ann Cleeves at setting the stage using nature as a backdrop. The coastal town where the story takes place gets a “callout” – the volunteer coast guard heads out to see what’s up with an abandoned boat in the middle of a storm. They find the boat, and inside, the body of a man.
