Summary of this Book...
I really enjoyed this book. It is my first Jane Casey read, and I’m glad I finally did. I saw Marian Keyes recommending this author a few times, and I’m always happy to take a recommendation from her.

This is a crime genre novel about a detective, Maeve Kerrigan, who is trying to find a serial killer known as The Burning Man because (funnily enough) he burns his victims.

I really liked the humour in the narration. I love the characters of Maeve, Rob, Godley. Although the genre and the crimes are horrific, I found myself smiling, laughing, even, at all of the humorous parts. There is a good balance of funny and horrific.

The conclusion doesn’t come as a huge surprise. I guess that is the only part I wasn’t as sold on. But, even so, I definitely recommend this book if you enjoy crime thrillers.
This type of Book is good for...
Lovers of crime procedurals. Lovers of thrillers with great characters.
I especially liked...
Maeve and Rob. The scene where they are doing the stake-out is great, too. Really good suspense created for that part.
I didn't like...
The end. It was a little predictable, to me. Also, I I'm honest, the action was a little slow.
When I finished n/a this Book I wanted to...
Read the next book in this series.
This Book made me feel...
Happy. Horrified. Amused.
The n/a of this Book...
Jane Casey has a great narrative voice. There is a whole series of Maeve Kerrigan books.
I recommend this Book because...
It's an easy, enjoyable read.
I don't recommend this Book because...
It's not a fast-paced thriller. Don't read if you want lots of action. It's more about the characters.
