Maeve Kerrigan is struggling to get back to normal, she still suffers from headaches & feels sluggish. When a doctor is found dead in his car she finds it hard to get a grip. A vulnerable young man is found beaten & half starved. Investigations reveal that he had been staying briefly with a woman in Jellicoe Close- an upmarket residential street. It is decided that what is needed is eyes on the Close & DI Josh Derwent. & Maeve are asked to move into one of the houses as a young couple dog sitting for a resident. There is an attraction between them- how will living is such close quarters affect them? Will they manage to investigate without being found out? How have I missed this series of books??? I really loved this one with its great characters, & red herrings to keep you guessing. I'll certainly be looking out for the next one! Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

After reading the synopsis of the book, I was hooked. Another author to add to my growing bookcase, the story gripped me from the moment I picked it up. Very well written and would highly recommend.

Another excellent read in the Maeve Kerrigan series. Maeve is investigating the murder of a surgeon, found dead in his car in the hospital car park. On top of this, she then goes undercover with Derwent investigating the suspicious death of a young man, related to the mayor. It's a cleverly woven plot which I became totally immersed in. The sexual tension between Maeve and Derwent is addressed, at last! Great characterisation and plenty suspense makes this another 5* read for the author. I highly recommend the series to lovers of the genre. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

I absolutely loved this! I'm a big fan of the Mauve Kerrigan series and this one didn't disappoint. It's got a very different vibe to the other books, in such a good way. Believable characters, tightly plotted and utterly unputdownable. You need to read this!
