      The characters were full of life, totally believable full of character. I totally could not stop.listening.
    • 5/5
      This series is amazing! If you like novels about solving crime and detectives , Go for it!
    • 4/5
      I like these books, but oy, Maeve just never learns. About anything. About being a cop. About relationships. About men. About Georgia. About Derwent. It was completely obvious from the beginning that Seth was a dangerous person, but Maeve saw nothing in his patronizing and controlling behavior. It was hard to read about what he did to her, but the thought of Derwent giving payback kept me going.Aside from that, I found the plot a bit too convoluted and involved too many suspects and guilty parties. It was a stretch and kind of hard to keep track of everyone after a while. No one was distinctive enough to stand out. But I hope the series continues.
    • 5/5
      Love this series! Maeve and Derwent have a great bantering relationship like close siblings have. They work together beautifully as a team. The plot is fascinating! Without mentioning any big spoilers I was so enthralled that I read it in one sitting. Great action and depth of feelings.
    • 5/5
      A Thames mudlarker discovers a human hand and an investigating team finds a few other pieces of a body, enough for the forensic pathologist to say that these are female remains, and enough to yield some DNA which eventually leads to identification of young journalist who has disappeared just when she was about to break a shocking story. There are several threads to this plot: a male voice recounts something that happened two years earlier, and Maeve Kerrigan works on the current story. But the thread that virtually takes over is the domestic violence that Maeve becomes part of, something she had never thought would happen to her.An engrossing read.
    • 4/5
      The Cutting Place is the ninth novel in the Maeve Kerrigan crime series, which is one of my favorites. Jane Casey’s writing is a cut above, so to speak, that of the usual crime series.As this installment begins, Maeve and her partner Josh Derwent are called to the shores of the Thames, where deliberately dismembered body parts have washed up. Thanks to DNA, the team is able to identify the parts as having belonged to a young woman, Paige Hargreaves, and they set out to determine why she was killed. It turns out she was a reporter working on an exposé of a private and secretive London club for extremely wealthy men. As one of Paige’s friends explains to Maeve, there was a culture of silence about the Chiron Club and no one had ever succeeded in breaking it. Paige had been convinced that something sinister was going on there.Indeed there was, as we learn in alternate chapters narrated by a member of the club.But Maeve’s investigation isn’t the only source of danger to her in this book, as a shocking development puts her life on the line. Evaluation: Jane Casey’s writing skill is impressive, in this case spotlighting abuse of and violence towards women with sensitivity and awareness of the complex array of factors that lead to women getting into bad situations. The murder team is a mix of deeply layered characters who seem quintessentially human; you feel as if you have met all of them before. As usual, I can’t wait to see what happens next to the recurring characters.
    • 5/5
      Very good, although it got a bit drawn out at the end with the focus switching more to Maeve's personal life and weeks passing while certain crimes were solved, but not the murder which began the story. I did work out the identity of Paige's murderer a little before it was revealed.Having said that, the sections dealing with Maeve's home life were excellent. Maeve and Josh are still the best thing about this series.
