Publisher's Summary
The Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the Irish Independent crime fiction book of the year!
Guilty?
A year ago, Leo Stone was convicted of murdering two women and sentenced to life in prison. Now he’s been freed on a technicality, and he’s protesting his innocence.
Not guilty?
DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent are determined to put Stone back behind bars where he belongs, but the more Maeve digs, the less convinced she is that he did it.
The wrong decision could be deadly…
Then another woman disappears in similar circumstances. Is there a copycat killer, or have they been wrong about Stone from the start?

Evil brother dilemma
Thoroughly enjoyable characters, story as always. My only complaint is the somewhat awkward introduction of the second older brother. Just didn’t quite ring true. Still an enjoyable performance, especially the verbal sparring between Derwent and Maeve.

not the same Maeve
The story is great, however missing the original narrator, it is very off putting after so many other books.

Different narrator
Another great Jane Casey book. I really missed the narrator from the previous books. It just wasn’t the same.

Yikes
The story is good as always, but the change in narrator ruins it. In the last 7 books every character had distinct voices and personalities. This narration is flat, bordering on monotone, and incredibly nasal. There is almost no difference in the characters’ voices making it hard to follow. Maeve sounds 50+. I understand there are reasons for narrator change but this was not the right choice of replacement for this story/series. I sincerely hope they will choose a different person for future books and consider re-recording the ones already done.
