Synopsis

The teenage girl was the first victim. Her throat cut to the bone, she didn't stand a chance. Her mother was the second., She, at least, had time to fight back. Briefly. Called to the South London crime scene, Maeve Kerrigan's first thought is that this is a domestic dispute gone bad., But the husband - found bloody and unconscious in an upstairs room - insists he's the third victim not the killer. However, the only witness is his young daughter. And she's not talking...

About this title

Review:

"Ireland's growing cadre of first rate thriller writers is already a thing to marvel at, and Jane Casey is emerging as one of its most accomplished members." (Irish Central)

"The Last Girl has a searing opening . . . Casey handles several plot lines with ease, and she’s come up with an attractive series character in DC Maeve
Kerrigan." (Sunday Times)

"This is a lively, gritty thriller. Every scene is well timed. The characters are quickly, expertly drawn. You will turn the pages fast, looking for every clue. I hadn’t read Jane Casey before but I will read her again." (William Leith Evening Standard)

"A truly modern detective tale" (Stylist Magazine)

"Reminiscent of Lynda La Plante's Jane Tennison . . . there is something quietly and enjoyably subversive about the character of Maeve Kerrigan. She is no superwoman, she lacks supernatural acuity, and she doesn't even have so much as a single dragon tattoo. What she has is persistence, integrity and emotional intelligence, and a very deft way of insinuating herself into a reader's affections. The Last Girl won't be the last you'll be hearing of her." (Irish Independent)
