Reviews

'I read all her previous novels earlier this year in one of the most enjoyable reading experiences of my life Casey is fantastic at writing taut, perfectly plotted mysteriesthat you are entirely drawn into, and she has a brilliant cast of side characters. But I'm a sucker for a love story, and the slow burn between Maeve and Josh over the entire series fills me with the sort of heady, burbling glee that I've only previously felt from my favourite romance novels.'
