Welcome to Litsy!

2024 re-read.

Not really much to add to my previous review. I did enjoy reading this one a bit more on the second time around. Maeve & Derwent's banter comes through a bit more, & Derwent seems less like a complete a**hole. I think I just hated his character from the off first time through so it blinded me to his (few) good points. I've added a half star & rated it 3.5 🌟

Finally finished this late lastnight. Not one of my favorites in the series. It kind of irritated me. Maeve is terrible with communication and I felt, at times, made mountains out of mole hills. Josh is a pig, but somehow has become likable for me. A lot of slow build up and the resolution came right at the end. I definitely love the series and will keep going. But I‘d give this 3.5🌟.

A snow storm forced a rest day on me (much needed!) and the husband said to take a nice long bath to get some time by myself without a little one climbing all over me. 🥰

A little #joyousjanuary reading before my next small group class. 😀

I‘ve been a super moody reader lately, four books going plus an audiobook. I reading at least! 🤣 Working on the next Maeve Kerrigan.

An interesting way at looking at a morgue! 😳 Great book and series.

Day 25 - #PredictablePlot #AuldLangReads

Although I love this author‘s books, I do remember the murderer being somewhat predictable for this book.

While I still love Maeve and I‘m even beginning to warm to Derwent, this was sadly my least favorite of the series so far. I found the continuing threads from the previous entry more compelling than the central mystery. And Jane Casey could use some help with her LGBT representation. It‘s London in 2012, not 1960. 🙄 On to the 4th! #seriesread

Finished book 3 in this series, which was another very good read. Plenty of twists and turns in this one as Maeve tries to work out who killed a mother and daughter, and left a father injured. This one did take me a while to get into, partly due to the number of characters, but once I did the book raced away. At times you feel it could have been shorter. Good developments in Maeve‘s personal life, that leaves an underlying theme. Onto book 4.

Finally got the chance to start book 3 in the Maeve Kerrigan Series. Need to read book 3, 4 and 5 this month to catch up with @Tove_Reads and @EadieB in the #MaeveKerriganBuddyRead.
Doing this one as an audiobook.

I enjoyed the third book in the series, although not as much as the two previous books. I thoroughly enjoy Casey‘s style, because she writes about police work in more detail than others. I often feel like authors leave out important details, but Casey doesn‘t. In the beginning of the book it worked against her though, because it went a bit too much into detail. I‘m really getting to like Maeve Kerrigan and it is great to get to know her better!

London defense attorney Philip Kennford's wife and twin daughter have been brutally murdered. Philip and his second favorite daughter, Lydia, both claim to have seen nothing. Maeve soon finds herself entangled in a case with an unhappy family accustomed to keeping secrets. A bit long and slowed down in parts. The characters feel very real. Murderer predictable. Look forward to reading the next one. Recommend to those who love police procedurals.

Enjoying the third book in the Maeve Kerrigan series! Can‘t believe I‘ve never read a book by Casey before this year!

Whoop 🙌Amazon has resolved my issue and I now own the book! I‘m ready to go!

It was an OK read. The lawyer was an absolutely repellent character. Kerrigan‘s insistence on doubting Rob at every turn is getting a bit wearing, & Derwent continues to do his best to channel the Gene Genie.

I did feel the LGBTQ+ aspect was handled rather poorly, it could have been done in a better way. Rating: 3 ⭐️

Maeve Kerrigan works very hard for her money in these books!!

My third one in this series. Just ordered 4 & 5. Good detective series with great character development. Some good plot twists until the end in this one 👍

The work deadline was met with 1 hour and a minute to spare 👍😀
Rewarding myself with a read and some lunch.
Loving this series!
