*The #1 Irish bestseller*

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

‘The most dangerously addictive series in crime fiction’ ERIN KELLY

‘Oh. My. God.’ RUTH WARE

‘I LOVE it – it is completely MAGNIFICENT’ MARIAN KEYES

‘Sublime’ ANDREA MARA

'An old-fashioned locked room mystery wrapped in a deeply moving love story' MAIL ONLINE

A closed door. An impossible murder.

2:32 p.m. Wealthy, privileged Ilaria Cavendish checks into a luxury London hotel and orders a bottle of champagne. Within the hour, her lover discovers her submerged in a bath of scalding water, dead.

At first glance it looks like an accident. No one went in with her. No one came out. But all the signs point to murder.

For DS Maeve Kerrigan, the case is a welcome distraction. But when shock news hits close to home, affecting her partner, DI Josh Derwent, she faces the toughest challenge of her career. And if she fails her world will never be the same again…

Great police procedural but I may have to abandon the series (if I can even finish this one; I’m halfway). The main murder mystery is very good in this latest one, but the Derwent subplot is frankly insufferable. He’s not likable anymore, with few if any redeeming characteristics and in real life Maeve’s obsession with him is hardly credible anymore. And just when you think the subplot with him is done it rears its head again. I’m away to Dervla McT’s latest next!
Update. I finished it. I guess many readers love the Derwent drama but not this one.
As for the main murder I was a wee bit disappointed in the dénouement. . It turned into an Agatha Christie-esque resolution ….the butler in the pantry kind of.

Good but the subplot …

This has been a favorite series for years, based largely on the strength of these two characters. The series has been exquisitely designed and perfectly paced, and without saying too much, this installment is perfection. 100% satisfied.

Perfect 👌

This series is worth the wait. Just wonderful as always. The best part is the ending.

Amazing!

I preferred Sarah Coombs as Narrator. Great story though. Looking forward to the next one.

Finally!!

I’d pre-ordered this one and wasn’t a bit sorry, despite being a bit salty over the ending of the last book! In any case, it was a great read, if perhaps a little strung out, but the case was a good one and other matters were resolved nicely too.

Perfect narration as usual.

Brilliant.

So many intriguing mysteries rolled into one book. Jane Casey and this series have been my favorite for a while now and I always eagerly await her next book. This book is just as satisfying as all her previous books. Savory. So good!

Outstanding, as usual.

I have always enjoyed this series
However, it saddens me to say
This Time I found Maeve’s character very annoying
And much weaker than usual.
Perhaps it is because I’m not a romantic?
I still look look forward to Jane Casey’s next book

Disappointed
