Okay..
I love the Maeve Kerrigan books so thought I’d give this a go. The story itself is good with interesting twists and turns, but the main character isn’t at all likeable which can make it hard to really get into the story.
The reader sounds bored and does pretty much the same voice/accent for everyone except the main character. Also listening to email back and forths and police interviews is very repetitive and confusing on an audiobook. If you had a physical book it would be easy to skim those parts but having to listen to the individual email addresses/names/initials being read out constantly is monotonous.
I would recommend this, but in physical book form. Use your audible credit for something else.

Disappointing
Like others I love the Maeve Kerrigan series and had high hopes of this one. Everything about it needed editing IMO and the narration was sometimes dull and lifeless. All the police had ‘you’re nicked son’ accents which grated on me. Constantly I had to go back to check the plot as I thought I had missed something but I hadn’t. It was just characters behaving like nitwits.

Pretty Darn Good!
Was up until the small hours listening to this and really loved it
Kept me guessing until about half way and thought I had cracked it although a great twist right at the end
Narrator wasn't overly amazing at the characters but I have heard worse
I would recommend this book

Gripping - got me back into audio books!
Show start, but had me hooked and couldn't stop listening! The narrator had a difficult job of bringing many characters to life, but thought she nailed the main ones. Excited to hear more from Jane Casey.

Wow
Oh my god. The best book I’ve had all year. This was amazing. First book I’ve listened to by this author and now I’m going back to listen to all her. The twists and turns were amazing. And the characters were so likeable and realistic. A must read.

Stick with it
A difference to Jane Casey's usual style but a great story. I didn't guess whodunit.

Excellent read!
Really, really enjoyed this book and looked forwarded to listening to it each day on my doggie walks.
I liked the narrator but I had to speed up the narration, as it kept having long pauses in between conversations.
Thoroughly recommend!

Stand Alone Casey novel
Don’t be put off by the negative reviews, like I really nearly was!! People seemed cross that it wasn’t a Meave Carrigan novel. It isn’t, but it’s just as good!
The emails don’t work as well with audible but we have to remember that authors write books to be read - not to be read
Great story
