The Dying Light

by Ann Cleeves

From New York Times bestseller Ann Cleeves comes the fourth Two Rivers mystery, in which Detective Matthew Venn and his team must solve a mysterious death in a luxurious holiday home.

Detective Matthew Venn is called in to investigate a puzzling death. The body of a young woman has been found in the swimming pool of a lavish holiday home in North Devon, and her best friend is missing. The property, Tide House, belongs to Paul Armstrong--a rising political star, a fact that quickly draws intense media scrutiny.

As a scorching heat wave rages and further tragedy strikes, Venn and his team begin questioning a community brimming with secrets. The dead woman and her friend had been spotted at a nearby music festival the day before, an event which brought locals and outsiders together. Some of whom may have been more connected with the Armstrong family than initially thought.

Caught between a powerful family's secrets and a powder keg of local tensions, Venn must navigate a treacherous path. Knowing that the real answers lie not in what people say, but in the silence that they keep.
