Review: Cruel Acts

Cruel Acts by Jane Casey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is number 8 in the DS Maeve Kerrigan series, but can very easily be read as a stand-alone….you may just miss out a little on her background.

DS Maeve Kerrigan and her boss DI Josh Derwent are re-investigating the Leo Stone case, he has been released after being granted an appeal. Stone is one creepy individual, but was he guilty?

Maeve is certain, a 3rd missing girl is somehow related to the case….

This has a gripping and detailed plot with many twists and surprises along the way and will keep you on tenterhooks throughout….

There are great characters, so well written by Jane Casey, you will feel the tension with them. The relationships between the characters have a reality about them and that between Kerrigan and Derwent is funny and moving at times too.

A brilliant, dramatic and tension filled ending to this menace filled thriller…I love it and can thoroughly recommend it to lovers of crime fiction.

I would like to thank the NetGalley, the publishers and the author for the opportunity to read this book for free and this is my honest and unbiased review.
