About this listen

The gripping new thriller featuring DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent from the Top Ten Sunday Times bestselling author

Every mother's worst nightmare . . .

When nine-year-old Rosalie Marshall vanished from her bed one summer night, her disappearance tore her family apart.

Now, sixteen years later, her mother Helena is found dead, her husband by her side. It looks like a straightforward murder-suicide but DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent soon discover nothing about this case is straightforward.

The Marshalls have been keeping secrets. And someone is prepared to kill to hide the truth. Until Maeve finds out what happened to Rosalie, no one will be safe . . .

Great story, as usual… until!

I’ve been a Jane Casey fan for years. I’ve weathered narrator changes and long spans between books. In this book, the writing is great and the plot twists perfect, as always. But that epilogue! Maeve has been to Hell and back. Ms. Casey, I ask you humbly, please let her have a win on this one.

Finally!!

Jane Casey, THANK YOU for finally giving us the Josh and Maeve love story progression we’ve been dying for! PLEASE don’t wait until the end of the next book to let us witness their love story progress. I have anxiously awaited every single book of the Maeve Kerrigan series, devoured each as soon as they are released, and wait impatiently in desperate anticipation until the next is published. Thank you for this joy/misery.

It’s about time!

Took a little time to get hooked into this one but once I did it was a great entry into the series, which never disappoints. I’m completely taken with these characters and can’t wait to find out what happens next. Casey left me right out on a limb here, no spoilers from me. Dream casting? Emily Blunt as Maeve, Benedict Cumberbatch as Derwent. Are you listening, movie/tv Gods?

Best Meave Book to date

I loved the story, the relationship development between Meave and Josh and the narration. The plot line kept me riveted till the end.

Emotional

I just loved that little girl.

A great story with many twists and turns. It made me cry even. But that ending!!! Glad to hear the author’s note at the end.

Series is Absolutely Addictive

Jane Casey is a brilliant writer. I started this series midway but went back and read / listened to every one and loved them all. The mysteries are always interesting and complex. Throughout most we see the relationship between a young Detective Mauve and intriguing, dark Josh Derwent, her boss, develop. The 2 plots are interwoven beautifully leaving the reader wanting more. In the end of this book is a shock but Jane Casey in her end notes promises they will return in the next book. Please don’t make us wait another year!!!!
