The Close: The exciting new detective crime thriller you won’t be able to put down! (Maeve Kerrigan, Book 10)

Product Information

I loved the simmering tension between the main characters, the tightly plotted mystery and the way that the darkness grew relentlessly to take over seemingly perfect suburbs - a brilliant example of nothing being as it seems." - Harriet Tyce The new neighbours seem just right for Jellicoe Close, a pretty street filled with perfect houses and happy families. But there are dark secrets behind the neat front doors, hidden dangers that include a ruthless criminal who will stop at nothing.

I’m an executive producer of the TV adaptation of my novel The Killing Kind, which is being filmed at the moment. I’m finishing the 11th Maeve book and planning a novel set in Dublin. I’m only bearable when I’m writing, so I write a lot. Have you ever made a literary pilgrimage?The Close has suspense, mystery, and complex characters. The story also shows the sexual tension between Maeve and Josh and how they navigate their friendship while being in close quarters during the investigation.

At first glance, Jellicoe Close seems to be a perfect suburban street - well-kept houses with pristine lawns, neighbours chatting over garden fences, children playing together. Pros: solid suspense and sexual tension (this is a rare time where I don't mind it), decent writing, the cases were quite juicy but I was really just here for Kerrwent, some good jokey jokes The Close is basically a police procedural crossed with a fake dating romance (if couples end up together EVERY time in romance books, I wouldn't know and this doesn't mean they do here and it doesn't mean they don't either). I loved the mix of genres and all the suspense.

Summary

The neighbors are nosy and immersed in everyone's business (quite a cast of colorful characters). This was fun and suspenseful, with the two posing as a couple and seeing how they would hold up. both professionally and personally. Apart from that I thoroughly enjoyed it. There's no particularly gory scenes, which I also find gratuitous on occasion. The story doesn't involve one crime but several and Maeve is a great character who brings just enough of her personal life to bear on the cases (excepting the Derwent nonsense).

The Close takes a huge leap forward into answering the 'will they, won't they?' question, along with highlighting the potential fallout. I am now DYING for the next book as this book brings up as much new questions as it does resolve others. There are two kinds of series characters: those who are basically the same in every book and those who are altered by their experiences. Maeve is the second kind, and she’s been through a lot. I think readers just want her to be happy now. How important is it that she is London Irish? Jane Casey's The Close takes you on a tantalizing journey into the shadows of a neighborhood filled with obscure characters and dark truths." Maeve and Josh’s arrival in Jellicoe Close and their efforts to get to know the residents catalyzes the unraveling of the residents' secrets. Maeve in particular, as an attractive young woman, is in danger.The gripping new detective crime thriller featuring Maeve Kerrigan and Josh Derwent from the Top Ten Sunday Times bestselling author DS Maeve Kerrigan, a senior officer, has been assigned to this case. She's monitoring her colleague, DC Georgia Shaw who's just getting her sea legs. But the higher-ups have another assignment for Maeve. She's to go undercover with DI Josh Derwent who is one of her supervisors. The two will be a surveillance couple assigned to a home in West Idleford. For all those looky lookers in the neighborhood, Maeve and Josh will be dog-sitting while the owner is out of town for weeks.

This is the latest in Jane Casey's terrific DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent series, and it has more than one murder mystery to be solved. At a hospital car park, 34 year old consultant Dr Hassan Dawoud is discovered murdered in his car, it's a murder inquiry that Maeve is struggling to lead, the trauma of previous events have left her sluggish, she has mostly recovered physically, although still getting excruciating headaches, but mentally and emotionally, she cannot put her past as a domestic violence victim behind her. Needless to say, this does not escape the sharp eyed Derwent, and when a pressurising and politically sensitive investigation which requires the police to go undercover at Jellicoe Close, Josh persuades Maeve to pose with him as a couple housesitting the home, and taking care of chaotic dog, Pippin, belonging to a academic. This book probably won't work for you if you haven't read the earlier books in the series. But if you have, make sure you have time to binge it in one sitting - you'll want to 😍 It is up to DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent to uncover the truth. They pose as a couple and move into The Close with the academy dog, Pippin.Let's start with the dead body found in a hospital parking lot at 2 AM. I can handle that. But a woman leaving the ER simply couldn't. The Metro Police of London arrive and it turns out that she actually knew this man. It was her neighbor, Dr. Hassan Dawoud. Hassan worked at this hospital, but the hours didn't match up. He and his partner, Cameron, had what appeared to be a solid relationship. But eyes suddenly fall on Cameron......continuously.
