This will not withhold me from trying another book by Jane Casey but I will not be running to the bookstore for any more books in this series. EXCERPT: All murder investigations were different and yet all of them began the same way, at least for me: standing in silence near a body, trying to catch the faintest echo of what had happened. Sometimes the air still vibrated with violence and high emotion, and sometimes the silence was empty. It was a habit I kept to myself, but one that reminded me of the fundamental truth: this was more than a job. Someone's life had been ended too soon. Finding out who had done it, and why, was my duty.

The author’s character development is second to none and it’s impossible to not immediately entwine yourself in the lives of the protagonists. “The Close” can easily work as a one off mystery but already being familiar with Maeve, made this book all the more intriguing (and smouldering!) There's a lot more going on in The Close than is at first apparent and, despite Maeve and Josh's intention to not get involved in any crime other than the one they are investigating, fate and their natural instincts work against them. I clued into who the unnamed narrator was pretty early, but I appreciate that the author threw in a couple of curveballs near the end that had me second-guessing myself. Which is silly because when am I ever wrong??? (obvious sarcasm) Anyways, Maeve did have her detective dumbass moments – can detectives please stop heading out into heavily wooded areas without cell phones or basic protection?? Tysm. Her best yet. Heartpounding and SO MOVING! If you haven’t read the Maeve Kerrigan series, start RIGHT NOW. I ENVY you’ Marian KeyesSo now we have Maeve who’s worrying about Georgia and Josh who’s worrying about his marriage and his feelings for Maeve. And a street full of people who made it their hobby to know everything about the neighbours, without knowing that one of them may be a killer. Tense, dramatic and sharply written yet still contains the moments of tenderness and humour that makes Casey's writing stand out from the crowd.’ Sinéad Crowley For those who are tired of Rowling´s handling of a similar situation (I am, and stopped reading the series because of it),don´t worry. I've read one book by Jane Casey before - The Killing Kind, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so was excited to see a new offering.

Book 10 in the Maeve Kerrigan series and did we get what we've all been waiting years for? 🤐 not telling. Nov 2022: Review to come once I collect my thoughts to be coherent because it’s JUST THAT FREAKING GOOD! Jellicoe Close is their new home. With a few brief practice runs, Josh loses his DI coat and Maeve her DS one. They are now a regular couple with Maeve between jobs and Josh working from home, providing them with the alibi they need. Life in Jellicoe Close is claustrophobic on so many levels. The neighbours are a curious bunch, all immersed in each others’ business. As Maeve and Josh slowly infiltrate this small community, certain individuals emerge as suspicious, a little more on edge. Maeve and Josh become extra vigilant that their behaviour is as expected, that of a young couple in love. They do not want to attract any unnecessary suspicion or provide cause for more than normal curious eyes and ears. In social situations they perform as expected but behind closed doors…well enough said.It’s up to DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent to uncover the truth. Posing as a couple, they move into the Close, blurring the lines between professional and personal as never before. A teenage girl is killed on a London bus. The case should be simple. The bus was full of witnesses, and there are cameras everywhere. DS Maeve Kerrigan and DC Georgia Shaw observe the body slumped half in and half out of the BMW sports car in the hospital car park. The victim is Dr Hassan Dawoud and after extensive enquiries his killer remains elusive. As if a hard to solve a murder isn’t enough the team are instructed by the Mayors office to look into the death of a vulnerable adult, Davy Bidwell, discovered in a derelict house in Acton. Davy’s family believe Judy Thwaites, who Davy lodges with for a few days, is exploiting vulnerable people. An undercover operation is planned and DI Josh Derwent insists Maeve works with him on this. So the pair arrive at Jellicoe Close, West Idleford as a couple and dog sitters for a very lively pooch! Such a cute dog! Secondly, it’s a fantastic portrait of the neighbourhood and the neighbours, it becomes clear that something very dark is lurking at its heart. At the very least this lot are harbouring secrets, the dynamics are certainly intriguing and yet it’s obvious there’s more……. Maybe it’s a conspiracy or is it pure evil? Josh and Maeve are closely observing them all and it’s a fascinating unfolding situation with some startling discoveries.
