The Dying Light by Ann Cleeves is the fourth installment in the acclaimed Detective Matthew Venn series, also known as Two Rivers. Set against a scorching summer in North Devon, this atmospheric crime novel follows a disturbing investigation that exposes the secrets of a powerful family and a divided community.

When the body of a young woman named Lottie is discovered in the swimming pool of an exclusive holiday home, Detective Inspector Matthew Venn is called to investigate. Lottie’s best friend, Hannah, whose family owns the property, has mysteriously disappeared.

The two girls had arrived in Devon to celebrate the end of their school examinations, but their provocative social media posts and behavior at a local music festival had already created hostility among residents.

As Venn and his team investigate, they discover that Hannah’s father, Paul Armstrong, is an ambitious politician with influential enemies. Intense media attention, another tragedy, and unexpected connections between holidaymakers and the Armstrong family make the investigation increasingly complicated.

Combining psychological suspense, intricate relationships, and compelling detective work, The Dying Light explores the dangerous consequences of buried secrets and the truths people refuse to reveal.
