This new series features a new British detective in the world of detective serials: Matthew Venn. This is the newest of Ann Cleeve's mystery series. I love the detective: he's kind and patience--like Jimmy Perez, but that's where the resemblance ends.
Matthew and his team in Devon are looking for someone who killed a young homeless man. There seems to be no apparent motive until two young women with Down's Syndrome are kidnapped.
Matthew is estranged from his family and has serious doubts as to his ability to solve the crime. He's self-conscious and unsure of himself.
The setting is typical Cleeves--rugged, harsh, beautiful. Water plays an important role in the novel, thus the "Two Rivers" series.
I'm going to read the others when they come out.
