2024 Review:

Reading these books through again 5 years later is very revealing. I missed a ton of 'Kerwent' subtext the first time around, & knowing what I know about Derwent now, I can see how a lot of his banter & toughness is a front. The case also was a lot more interesting this time around & I've bumped my rating up by 1 star. 4🌟

OutsmartYourShelf 2019 Review:

DC Maeve Kerrigan returns in the fourth book of the series, and there is a serial killer targeting young women. As there are no signs of break-ins or violence, it seems the killer is able to get the victims to trust him, and the lack of forensic evidence points to someone in law enforcement. Maybe the killer is closer to home than even Maeve thinks.
5d
OutsmartYourShelf Maeve's boyfriend Rob, is pretty much out of the picture for most of the book, conveniently sent on a training course for 2 weeks. Most of the focus is on Maeve and DI Josh Derwent. I suppose the author wants Derwent to come across as a cheeky “Jack-the-lad“ type but mainly he comes across as an arse. There were a few glimmers of character development, but please, please don't put these two in a relationship. 5d

This was just ok. I will always love the wonderful cast of characters, however the mystery in this one was just a little dull. Also I am really over the house renovation side plot, can it be done already?! 3⭐️

A former prostitute and drug addict, who seemed to have been turning her life around, is found dead in a squat with the body of her 6 year old daughter. Next to her body is a credit card belonging to a multi-millionaire who had died in a plane crash 6 months earlier.

rwmg Rather grittier than the mysteries I usually read. The only reason I kept going was the intriguing character of DC Fiona Griffiths, the most junior member of the investigating team, and the gradual reveal of part of her back-story. I'm not sure though whether finding out more of it is enough to keep me going. I can recognise the book was very well done, but just not my cup of tea, so I'll still give it a Pick. 4w

Great setting beautifully described, with clunky dialogue and two dimensional characters. The story was okay. But I finished it with an hour to spare before Libby reclaimed it!

Tomorrow I‘ll start Grim Reaper‘s Guide.

Progress was made on the rest.

Fun readathon!
