A review by emceehache
The Girls on the Shore by Ann Cleeves

mysterious reflective medium-paced

It’s a short story featuring DCI Matthew Venn as he encounters two girls on the beach in front of his house.
PROS:

• In true Ann Cleeves fashion, it had great atmosphere and characters.
• Gives a bit more insight about Matthew and Jo’s background. Good for fans of the series.

CONS:

• It feels like it should be a novel rather than a short story.
• The reveal
  about the older girl being a psychopath
  is underwhelming. I think a longer story would’ve made it better.
