I've been reading Jane Casey for about a year the year now, and Ive read all of her Maeve Kerrigan stories. This is not Maeve Kerrigan. However, it is is creative challenging and well planned, well paced thriller.. It's a good story with believable characters and plenty of suspense and surprises.
The main character is the more sophisticated character than Maeve, And I found that refreshing. She's an adult lawyer, and she she has all the challenges of a young adult professional in the world, except that she has a particular client who won't let her go....

wow! Not your usual Maeve Kerrigan!

I like Jane Casey's writing, but this one was over the top for believability. Too many red herrings and the heroine was needless reckless and sometimes downright stupid to be believable as a lawyer.

Too many "red herrings"

it was so nice to listen to such a long audio book that kept my attention the whole time. I just wish the narrator would have lowered her voice for male voices because in some of the conversations it was hard to tell who was talking. but I still gave her four stars because the female voices were so good.

great story and great performance

Hard to understand motivations and actions of main character (or lack there of). Al the characters are either obtuse or one dimensional. Narrator was alright once I put it on 1.5 speed.

CON-VO-LU-TED

I approached this new Jane Casey entry with caution since it appeared to be either a new series or a standalone outside of the Maeve Kerrigan universe. Fans should stick with it. It gets better as it develops and apparent plot holes are filled. Some twists were guessable, some had me fooled, but I was certainly grabbed by the Need to Read until the end.

Not Maeve, but very entertaining

I have to say the plot got quite stretched as the story unfolded. The protagonist has to be the unluckiest person on earth what with all that goes on around her. Some of the plot goes way beyond what is remotely believable, and one of the characters is way too much of a (bad) scarlet pimpernel. But it’s the kind of book you have to stick with to try to figure out who did what (if you are me!). I note other reviewers did not finish for probably the same reasons. Well narrated which carried me to the end.

Starts strong

Just when you think you have it figured out…you are proven wrong.
I’m glad to have found a new author to follow.

Surprise surprise!

This was an engaging plot that kept me interested all the way to the end. Jane Casey creates an interesting premise and Emily Barber is a talented narrator. I look forward to reading Jane Casey’s next work.

Well written, engrossing, keeps you guessing

I’m sad it’s over and hungry for more Jane Casey books. I really enjoyed The Killing Kind. It’s the best book I’ve read in a while. It kept me guessing to the end, who can you trust?

Kept me guessing to the end!

I loved the tight prose, the surprises and the intimate view of a brilliant legal mind. Would not mind meeting Ingrid again

Not Maeve but wow
