Superb

Another triumph from Jane Casey following the detective work of Maeuve and Josh. Working undercover this was well plotted. There was quite a bit of humour as always and again superb narration by Caroline Lennon. I hope there are more to come

Great

Fab love this series - it gets better each time, when is the next book coming out?

Intriguing

The plot slither is one way, then another and then back again and then round about again as do the characters. One minute. You think you know who done it ! the next minute you’re not sure.

Fantastic

Without a doubt my favourite and the best book of the series so far. Although I have to say it wouldn't be the same without Caroline Lennon narrating it. Just brilliant.

Fantastic book

This series is one of my all time favourites and this latest book is the best of all. Just loved it.

Loved it

Really enjoyed this latest book in the Maeve Kerrigan series. The tension between Josh and Maeve is so well written. You can feel it. Great plot and super narration as ever by Caroline Lennon. Looking forward to the next book already.

Love this series

I hope this isn't the last in this series as I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far!

OUTSTANDING!

If you are a fan of the Maeve Kerrigan series, you'll love this. If she's new to you, I suggest you start at the beginning of the series as there are references to events that occured in previous books and the characters fill out and become more rounded as the series progresses.
As well as the usual superb crime story, Jane Casey further develops her two main characters, DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent, (while not neglecting the other players), which gives the book even more interest. They are sent to the edge of London, working undercover, posing as a dog sitting boyfriend and girlfriend but really watching activities in another house in the close. How they mingle with their new neighbours, and how their professional relationship blurs at the edges is skilfully told while the narrative continues, identifying various suspects and introducing the usual selection of red herrings. While undertaking this work, Maeve is also leading a murder enquiry in her usual stamping ground, so has to juggle the two cases at the same time.
It's a compelling listen, made all the more so by the excellent Caroline Lennon, who once again does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of Maeve, her colleagues and her contacts.
The only problem with this book is that it makes you immediately want to become immersed in the next one!

So disappointed

I have loved the Maeve Kerrigan series since the start, but this one bored the pants off me. And not a single mention of what happened to Rob either.

Excellent

I love this series and yes, it was a departure from the norm but I needed that following a string of unsatisfying listens this year. This was a palate cleanser. In fact, my main issue with it, my only issue with it, was the fact that the whole premise was enabled through an abuse of power, privilege and position, and there’s too much of that in the real world, but I can forgive it in fiction. No spoilers, but I really can’t see the police utilising two highly paid officers in such a role based on little to no evidence. Next please.
