The Raging Storm: A Detective Matthew Venn Novel (Matthew Venn series Book 3)

The Raging Storm is the third novel in Ann Cleeves's Matthew Venn series. When Jem Rosco, a renowned sailor and adventurer, arrives in Greystone, Devon during an autumn storm, the town's residents are excited by his presence. He soon disappears, and his body is later found in a dinghy off Scully Cove, a location with its own local legends. Detective Inspector Matthew Venn takes on the case, though it proves difficult—Greystone is a place from his childhood that he left behind. When a second body surfaces, Venn struggles to maintain objectivity as superstition and rumor complicate the investigation. As the storm intensifies, Venn and his team uncover dark secrets connected to Scully Cove, and he discovers that no one, including himself, is beyond danger.
