Welcome to Litsy!

Maeve & Derwent are on the team to investigate a spate of attacks on police officers. Maeve is also struggling with her knowledge of Superintendent Godley's corruption & boyfriend Rob's preoccupation with something or someone else.

Re-reading this in a clearer state of mind than being angry at the author throwing Rob 'under the bus', I can see more nuance this time but Derwent's predatory behaviour in this one still rankles.

Stayed up past my bedtime last night to finish the Kill. I love Maeve but this book wasn‘t a favorite of mine so far in this series. I felt like some of the story lines fell flat or rushed. But it was worth reading. I‘m starting to have a soft spot for Derwent even though he call be a dill hole. I‘d give it 3.5 🌟

Matty is with a friend again today so that I can rest. Theo is taking advantage and napping while I try to finish my book. 😀

Spending the day with Maeve Kerrigan while the boys play! 😍

My little guy and the pug are putting in some zzzz‘s while I get some reading time! 😍 perfect Friday!

Starting the next Maeve Kerrigan while I wait anxiously for the new Helen Grace to drop! I‘m so excited! 😁🤓

👏🏻EVERY👏🏻BOOK👏🏻IS👏🏻BETTER👏🏻AND👏🏻BETTER👏🏻
To be quite frank, the first book in the Maeve Kerrigan series, The Burning, is the weakest of the series so far. Normally you‘d think it would be a sophomoric sequel that would be less than stellar, but not so!

Author Jane Casey really knows how to build the suspense. This isn‘t your run of the mill police procedural. Independent heroines, engrossing cases, and three dimensional characters!

Det Maeve Kerrigan & DI Josh Derwent are called back to London while attending a wedding. A policeman has been murdered. The secret that her boss, Godley, has been keeping for years is going to blow up in his face. Lots of transitions going on in Maeve's life. I need to find out what will happen with Maeve's relationships & with her job. Best book of the series and makes you want to read the next book. Highly recommended!

It started off a bit slow, but it picked up quickly and I absolutely loved it! Maeve goes through many hard things in this book, which makes me love her even more. Someone is killing police officers, and no one is safe. Even though Maeve doesn‘t know it she is fiercely strong! The ending makes me want to read the next book immediately! I‘m getting a “Frieda Klein vibe” from this book. ❤️

Time to start The Kill, Book 5 in the Maeve Kerrigan Series, which I am reading with @EadieB and @Tove_Reads

Doing this one by audiobook.

Yay! It‘s time for the next Maeve book!

When are we ready to move on? Which one next? Finishing Gone later today.

The crime aspect of this fifth book in the series was fairly pedestrian. It was the dynamics between Maeve & others that were both intriguing & infuriating.

I do not want a Derwent/Maeve romantic pairing, & I dislike the fact that the author contrived to not only remove Maeve‘s boyfriend, Rob, from the scene but also to make him act completely out of character. Not impressed. 2⭐️

Great edition to the series! Great crime plot at the centre, but lots of other things going on in Maeve's life. Maeve is a great MC even if you want to shake her sometimes!

I have adulted all day......much patience was needed. I am now on the couch, pj's, book, premier league back on telly and beer cooling in fridge 😀
