Simon Walden had been employed in the kitchen, as a chef of sorts, and apparently a great one. Jonathan is the founder/manager of the Woodyard Centre, a haven for those with learning disabilities and for those who take master’s level classes in art. The story like those set in the Shetland Islands weaves through the populace of North Devon and other nearby parts, as pieces of Simon Walden’s life and his reason for moving to North Devon, a village of sorts in the outskirts of Barnstaple, a larger town, is uncovered by Venn and his team.Īlong the way, Venn’s life from childhood as a son to parents who belong to a religious sect (The Brethren) to the present in a world removed from that as the spouse of Jonathan Church becomes entangled in this murder. Set in mostly North Devon District (England) The Long Call revolves around Detective Inspector Matthew Venn and his team’s investigation into the stabbing murder of Simon Walden who is found on the beach by passerbys. I watched the series on Netflix and absolutely loved it though it did take me a bit to get used to the dialect and language. Reading Ann Cleeves’ latest novel, The Long Call, the first in the series Two Rivers, brought me back to Shetland Islands. Review of Ann Cleeves’ The Long Call May 25, 2019
