What this book is about
The fourth book in Cleeves's Two Rivers series set in North Devon: a massive storm cuts off the community of Instow, and within it, a man who was universally disliked turns up dead. Matthew Venn and his team investigate in isolation. Cleeves uses the weather as both setting and metaphor — the storm strips away the surfaces people present.
