ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“The Long Call” by Ann Cleeves follows Detective Matthew Venn as he investigates the murder of Simon Walden, found dead on a remote beach in Devon. As Matthew delves into the case, he is drawn into the complex lives of the Woodyard community, where Simon had sought refuge. The investigation uncovers hidden secrets, strained relationships, and past traumas, particularly involving influential figures like the Salter family. The novel explores themes of isolation, community, family dynamics, guilt, and the tension between personal and professional duty, all while unraveling a mystery deeply rooted in the characters’ complicated histories.
