Waiting on Wednesday was a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Although Jill is no longer hosting this event, I am continuing to post one soon to be released title each Wednesday that I can't wait to read. (I'll just say this once - I totally copied this paragraph from Tina's blog at Tina says... - also, if you don't know Tina and her blog, you should!).
As some of you may remember, I love Jane Casey's mystery series featuring DC Maeve Kerrigan. Love it. I was so excited to see that a new book in this series will be published here in the US this summer. It will come out in the UK earlier (like March 9th). I may have to cheat and order it from 'across the way'.
by Jane Casey
Publication Date: July 25th
When eighteen-year-old Chloe Emery returns to her West London home she finds her mother missing, the house covered in blood. Everything points to murder, except for one thing: there’s no sign of the body.
London detective Maeve Kerrigan and the homicide team turn their attention to the neighbours. The ultra-religious Norrises are acting suspiciously; their teenage daughter and Chloe Emery definitely have something to hide. Then there’s William Turner, once accused of stabbing a schoolmate and the neighborhood’s favorite criminal. Is he merely a scapegoat, or is there more behind the charismatic façade?
As a body fails to materialize, Maeve must piece together a patchwork of testimonies and accusations. Who is lying, and who is not? And soon Maeve starts to realize that not only will the answer lead to Kate Emery, but more lives may hang in the balance.

Jane Casey is one of my very favorite authors, and I've loved all of her books so far. Can't wait for this one!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both!
DeleteAnother mystery series that sounds good! I'm going to check her out.
ReplyDeleteI actually have ordered from Amazon UK in the past...I have a book I'm eyeing that I might do that with...but it wouldn't be an e-book. I don't think theirs are formatted to work for us.
Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
No, when you order from Amazon UK, it has to be regular print books. E-books are indeed formatted differently.
DeleteI love this series too and have already pre-ordered it from the UK.
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely on the ball here! LOL
DeleteI love Jane Casey too, but I have to hurry and catch up, so I guess I can wait until the U.S. release. I have one on my kindle now, actually :) Thanks for letting me know about this one.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wouldn't worry about hurrying. Just think of all the fun you'll have.
DeleteI'm so behind on this series and I need to catch up. I really like Maeve's character. Hope you get your hands on this one soon!
ReplyDeleteI liked her character too. Plus I like Josh - even though he is overbearing at times. Looking forward to this one.
