The Heron's Cry by Ann Cleeves

dark mysterious

3.5

A decent mystery, but not as good as the first one. I'm not totally comfortable with how they can only ever refer to Lucy in terms of her learning disability and there was a hint of
sympathy towards the idea that it's reasonable for disabled people's family members to snap and kill them? But to be fair that didn't come through strongly. Maybe it's growing up in the era of pro-ana forums and easy to find suicide tips but all the forum stuff felt overblown to me.
