A closed door. An impossible murder.

2:32 p.m. Wealthy, privileged Ilaria Cavendish checks into a luxury London hotel and orders a bottle of champagne. Within the hour, her lover discovers her submerged in a bath of scalding water, dead.

At first glance it looks like an accident. No one went in with her. No one came out. But all the signs point to murder.

For DS Maeve Kerrigan, the case is a welcome distraction. But when shock news hits close to home, affecting her partner, DI Josh Derwent, she faces the toughest challenge of her career. And if she fails her world will never be the same again…

I’ve read all the stories in this series. The characters are so well written and I have a true affection for them all. I could not stop listening to this one. The crime was such a puzzle and the lives of the main characters fun to follow.

Love this series!

The unravelling of the culprit throughout was interesting, although it was easy to lose track of who was who. Enjoy the subtle humour very much. Maeve's inner dialogue was dragged out many times which was a bit annoying. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Another enjoyable chapter of the series

About time, I really feel so invested in the series. All the twists and turns.
Hoping the next novel in the series is not too far away.
Thanks Jane, I have been hooked since book 1.

Just wonderful!!

I love this series and this book didn’t let me down. The only problem I had at the end of the book was that I immediately thought about how I have to wait a year for the next one in the series.
Highly recommend the whole series to anyone new to the story.

I loved every minute of this book

This book had me at cross roads from the start. The book was full of twists and turns, that had me struggling to stop reading- but after 11 books, I was so attached to Maeve that I didn't think I could stand any heart break. I decided to stop (for about an hour), but knew I must continue. I'm so glad I did. I really enjoyed the way the read was set into sections. You never knew whether it was the end, until it was. Brilliant!

Loved it
