About this listen

‘If you haven’t read Jane Casey, start immediately’ Marian Keyes, the Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller

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…

What people are saying about The Close:

Reading some of the other reviews, I’m not of the same mind. The story is a little disjointed with four tracks developing at the same time. The initial case being almost superfluous. The will-they, won’t-they part, which the situation was planned to illustrate, got a bit tedious. Has the series run it’s course. Perhaps a final hurrah where they both check out still unrequited. Earlier books/stories were much better.

Has this series run it’s course?

The plot slither is one way, then another and then back again and then round about again as do the characters. One minute. You think you know who done it ! the next minute you’re not sure.

Intriguing
