review 1: I discovered Jane Casey by chance (when I'm looking for new crime/thriller authors) but became a fan quickly, and this one is probably her best book yet. Very hard to put down, we want to know more and more. It was very interesting to know more about Derwent's past and why he is ...

review 1: I really enjoyed this book. It's set in England and written by an English author and it was very interesting to read the different phrases the British use and the differences in their justice system. Actually it's not much different than ours. The storyline is basically differ...

review 1: Enjoyed this police procedural set in London(there are maybe one or two coincidences too many, but ...) It's unusual in that the main character is a (female) constable rather than a higher ranking officer, which gives a different aspect to the problems-at-work theme. Some interes...

review 1: Book 2 in the series. This book continues with the main detectives and characters and their relationship between them as they rub shoulders with each other. How they develop of people and change their views of each other. The crime side is interesting and makes you want to find o...

review 1: This book is the second in a series of books centered around a Detective Constable Maeve Kerrigan of the London Police Department. It is rare, in my experience for books in a series to get better, but I enjoyed this book even more than I enjoyed the first book in the series (The ...

review 1: Exciting thriller which sees Maeve involved in the investigation of a gruesome murder in Wimbledon. Her personal life seems to be flourishing but her sinister stalker is still at large to spoil things. I enjoyed this book and am only dropping to 3* because on reflection the conte...

review 1: This was a real page turner and I couldn't put it down, but unfortunately the ending was very silly. This is the first book by this author, and although I think it shows promise, its a bit like she had to throw in too much action (and too many cliches of a murder mystery) to get ...

review 1: This series must be read in order because there are spoilers from previous books. This series features Maeve Kerrigan, a lowly DC, who in this book is helping in the search for a serial killer. Not all of the characters are likeable and the main character makes some missteps wh...

review 1: Easy to read flowed well, it focused more on the victim and the detective learning out about what sort of person they are to work out why they got killed. The relationships between the female detective and the other members of the team worked well. I did feel that the end was a l...

review 1: The Last Girl is the 3rd book in the Maeve Kerrigan mystery series. Unlike the initial books (The Burning and The Reckoning), this story does not stand alone. You need to be familiar with the back story to understand a threat to the protagonist and references to an ongoing invest...

review 1: I listened to the audio version of this and the two previous Maeve Kerrigan books and now I'm anxiously waiting for the next to come out in audio! Maeve bothered me more than a little in this one, she appeared to be determined to act as dramatically and ridiculous as possible in ...

review 1: This author writes incredibly! I was addicted to this book because Jane paints such a perfect, all-round protagonist that I just wanted to stay with. The plot is finely melded with lots of twists and pulls from various characters. I love how the story was carried over a number of...

review 1: This book does a neat job of bringing together two parallel storylines - one past, one present. I enjoyed the way details were given and occasionally glazed over, some of which you noticed, and others you didn't. Some, you noticed but the characters didn't, and you're left going ...

review 1: On the whole, this is a readable and undemanding psychological thriller based on an interesting premise - what happens when the family at the centre of one tragedy becomes caught up, years later, in another. My main criticism would be that the plot occasionally stretches plausibi...
