Praise for this book
"Casey excels at showing how a detective's stresses and anxieties are rooted in more than just their work." - Linwood Barclay
"With each book in this series, Jane takes us deeper into the lives and minds of her characters. THE CLOSE thrums with the tension of a classic crime thriller but more than that it ties us tighter to the fates of Maeve, Derwent and the wider cast in new and unexpected ways. If this wasn't already one of my favourite crime series, THE CLOSE would have catapulted it up there. Brilliant." - Sarah Hilary
