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. | ||
