Another FANTASTIC book in the Maeve series

I already know I will listen to it again. It was such a treat. My favorite series.

Outstanding entry to the story lines

I rarely review but this one is so wonderful I had to gush about it. We get a peek at our beloved Maeve from another viewpoint (and a peek at Josh, if you love him too). Old mysteries about Rob are solved, obviously, but there is nothing obvious about how Casey tells that tale and catches us up to the present. The writing is nuanced and thoughtful. Personally, I was captivated by the examination of the effects of trauma on people who must regularly face violence and the worst aspects of humanity. Not many authors get it, IMO. This one is not to be missed in the Casey canon. Cannot wait for the next book.

So good

I listen to a lot of audiobooks - most of which are mysteries/police procedural. This was the best book I have listened to in sometime.

Wow!

Jane Casey does it again. Every book is better than the last. Great seeing Rob and learning what was going on with him when he disappeared. He did. Great job of anchoring a book on his own and we still got to see Maeve and Josh. Fantastic book.

My #1 crime author

Loving this as a new spin-off of the Kerrigan series...Casey makes Rob just as compelling and relatable a protagonist as Maeve, and seems like he deserves his time away from the inexorable gravitational pull of Maeve and Derwent! I'm all for it, and will be looking for future installments of Rob's series!
