I enjoy Ann Cleeves Vera Stanhope and Jimmy Perez series'. But, this new series with Detective Mathew Venn is a boring character. And the plot contrive, trivial. It's almost like it's written for a tv series in mind. Very disappointing.

I enjoyed the pace of this one more than the first Matthew Venn mystery, perhaps because I listened rather than read. I like all of the characters and will continue with the series.
