A top ten Sunday Times bestselling author

From award-winning author Jane Casey comes a powerful crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page…

A murder without a body
Eighteen-year-old Chloe Emery returns to her West London home one day to find the house covered in blood and Kate, her mother, gone. There may not be a body, but everything else points to murder.

A girl too scared to talk
Maeve Kerrigan is young, ambitious and determined to prove she’s up to her new role as detective sergeant. She suspects Chloe is holding something back, but best friend Bethany Norris won’t let Maeve get close. What exactly is Bethany protecting Chloe from?

A detective with everything to prove
As the team dig deeper into the residents of Valerian Road, no one is above suspicion. All Maeve needs is one person to talk, but that’s not going to happen. Because even in a case of murder, some secrets are too terrible to share…

Critic reviews

"A tremendous sense of suspense." (Sunday Times)

"I was utterly gripped by Let the Dead Speak, a plotting masterpiece, and am in awe of its sheer pace and drive." (Susie Steiner, author of best seller Missing, Presumed)

"Casey is a true craftswoman, a writer who beguiles one through the most twisted of plots with a confident and seductive hand. Let the Dead Speak is sharp, complex and gripping to the very end." (Alex Marwood, best-selling author of Wicked Girls and The Killer Next Door)

Great story and characters. I just got irritated with the frequency of using “biting one’s lip” as a descriptor.

Just one irritation

Caroline Lennon does an amazing job with this series of books. I’ve listened to them back to back and am now following others she has narrated. Just want a book 8 now!!

Fantastic!

I started off feeling very bored and disconnected from the book. Not because the story was bad but because the pace was so slow. I've never heard a narrator read so slowly! However, after cranking the speed up to 1.4 I flew through the book and loved the pace. The plot is very cleverly thought out and the tangled web of characters is very interesting. This is my first Jane Casey novel but it won't be my last!

crank the speed up and it's a great book!

It makes we wonder if real detectives would be so passionate about their work, perhaps some would, but how many would take the easy wins rather than the right result. Another can’t put it down read.

Entertaining and emotionally engaging

Loved it all, bar a few glaring procedural errors which it seemed unbelievable that a bright spark like DS Kerrigan ...or indeed even a child would make as belied common sense. Tour de force performance from the dulcet toned Caroline Lennon. Great layered plot that just kept on going and enjoyed it 98% to the max minus the couple of niggles that beggared belief. Can't wait for the next one.

Another excellent Jane Casey thriller
