*The No.1 Irish bestseller*

Winner of Crime Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards

A Times Crime Book of the Year

The gripping new detective thriller 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 …

Completely Gripping Listen

It’s always a treat when the new Maeve Kerrigan arrives from Jane Casey. It never disappoints and this one was no different. Really well plotted, great characterisation and excellent narration from the very talented Caroline Lennon. And the ending, absolute genius and leaving listeners desperate for the next instalment. Fabulous.

Brilliant story.

Another gripping story full of suspense, twists and turns. Lots of emotional times between Derwent and Meabh too. Excellent narration too. Please keep these stories coming, I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them.

Great characters

It’s a good standalone case, but I really love the evolution of the characters and the relationships in this series.

Maeve is back!

Yay Maeve is back! I absolutely love this series and love the character of Maeve Kerrigan, who feels like a friend. in this book Jane Casey has created a very clever plot and the story soon gets very dark indeed. There are lots of twists which kept me guessing. And then there is THAT ending!!

Great narration by Caroline Lennon.

Keeps getting better!

Many of the characters in this book were totally unlikeable, in fact some were downright awful, and I sort of guessed who done it, BUT I was totally glued to it. Read far too long into the night and have gone back and reread some of it. And that cliffhanger, really looking forward to the next book. Well worth a credit (for me that is). To me, it’s the mark of a good storyteller to keep you reading when you don’t warm to many of the characters - but love Josh and Maeve.
