Description
If you haven’t read Jane Casey, start immediately’ - Marian Keyes, the Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller
Don’t miss the newest Maeve Kerrigan and Josh Derwent thriller – THE STRANGER IN THE FAMILY – out now!
A Times best crime book of the year
Suburban bliss
The new neighbours seem just right for Jellicoe Close, a pretty street filled with perfect houses and happy families.
Sinister secrets
But one neat front door hides a ruthless criminal – and the new neighbours aren’t what they seem to be either. DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent are undercover, posing as a couple to investigate a deadly conspiracy.
Murderous deception
As they try to gather the evidence they need, they have no idea of the true threat they face – because someone in Jellicoe Close has murder on their mind…
