Caz Frear
Who killed Holly Kemp?
Christopher Masters, known as 'The Roommate Killer', strangled three women over a two-week period in a London house in November 2012. Holly Kemp, his fourth victim, was never found. Until now.
Her remains have been unearthed in a field in Cambridgeshire and DC Cat Kinsella and the Major Investigation Team are called in for what should be an open-and-shut case. But immediately Cat has questions and with Masters dead and few new leads, she has little to go on except her gut instinct, which is telling her that the real killer is still out there.
But if you'd got away with murder, how far would you go to keep the past where it belongs?

Critic reviews
I loved it! I love the central character Cat Kinsella, the brilliant dialogue, clear plotting and unique voice. This is my favourite in the series to date
Caz Frear is incredibly gifted
Just finished, and loved, Shed No Tears. Brilliantly written, cleverly plotted, great characters. Can't wait to see this fly!
Shed No Tears is a joy to read with a strong, compelling storyline and a wonderful cast of brilliant characters. A triumph for Caz Frear
Wow, again. I love Cat Kinsella, and she just gets better. What's not to adore: a sassy, smart, ballsy main character and intricate, fascinating plots. Another absolute smash and one of my favourite protagonists!
Cat is a brilliant heroine, strong, shrewd and flawed, and she operates in a world that feels 100% authentic
If you haven't discovered Caz Frear yet, you are in for a treat. She's fast becoming one of my favourite writers. Shed No Tears is magnificent
Caz Frear somehow combines a devilishly clever plot and amazing complex characters with a light touch that makes for a deeply satisfying read. Another Cat Kinsella winner
Shed No Tears is gritty crime at its best. The police team dynamics, banter and relationships are superbly written. Caz Frear has created a flawed but likeable character in Cat Kinsella. I was rooting for her to solve everything, including her own demons . . . This book is definitely one to put on your must read list if you love a police procedural that moves like lightning. Grab it when you can!
Raced through Shed No Tears. Another standout thriller from the phenomenal Caz Frear. Sharply written and expertly plotted, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Cannot wait for the next Cat Kinsella
This is a series I've loved since the very first book - main protagonist Cat Kinsella is so realistic and full of depth that I immediately engaged with her, that has continued through every subsequent instalment and Shed No Tears was no exception . . . another tip top fully immersive crime thriller from the pen of Caz Frear. Not many writers of this creative, talented level are out there so I highly recommend that you read these if you are a fan of all things crime fiction
Once again Caz Frear gives us a brilliant crime puzzle to solve. With plenty of emotion, Cat Kinsella's trademark wit and an engaging plot to boot, crime fans need look no further for a great read
I adored this book. Seriously. I instantly fell in love with Cat. She is a damaged but brilliant woman . . . Frear is a wonderful writer and a fantastic storyteller. She took me on a thrilling ride that started on the first page and didn't let up until the last word. Stunning!
To properly follow the family aspect of the story (Cat's Father and Uncle & their connections to organised crime), I think it would help if the books were read in sequence.
The main murder investigation aspect of the story is free-standing, although it involves many of the police colleagues that we met in the first two books.
Like the first two books, it is a very well written story, I could relate to the police as ordinary people going to work and doing a job just like everybody else. This is the main strength of the book, we can relate to the police as real people. The story was perhaps a little slow to get going, but a cracking good last 3 hours of listening, and reasonably complicated. As good as the first two books.
The narrator was OK, just a rather dodgy French accent.
The ending leads us to believe that this will be the last Cat Kinsella book, at least in the form we've come to know.
