The Long Call by Ann Cleeves

5.0

I have been wanting to pick up an Ann Cleeves book for a while and was gifted this from my lovely Mam as it is the start of a new series. From the beginning, I was hooked. I read her author note and very much resonated with the start of a new series feeling like introducing a new partner and I'm so happy that Ann Cleeves has. Her descriptions of the characters are wonderfully written, creative, and are stuck to throughout the book. I was particularly fond of her description for Jen with her "leaning so far to the left that she'd only recently became reconciled with the Labour Party". I became instantly swept up in the case and was concerned with the fates of the characters at the same time. I really enjoyed the book and will definitely be picking up the next one!
