Vast wealth offers London defense attorney Philip Kennford a
lot of things: a gorgeous house with a pool in the backyard,
connections in the top echelons of society, a wardrobe
worthy of Milan runways. But his money doesn’t provide a
happy marriage, or good relationships with his twin
daughters…and it does nothing to protect his family when
someone brutally murders his wife and daughter in their own
home.
When Detective Constable Maeve Kerrigan arrives at the
scene, the two survivors—Philip and his second favorite
daughter, Lydia—both claim to have seen nothing, but it’s
clear right away that this is an unhappy family accustomed
to keeping secrets. Maeve soon finds herself entangled in a
case with a thousand leads that all seem to point nowhere,
and it doesn’t help that her boss, whom she trusts more than
almost anyone, is starting to make decisions that Maeve
finds questionable at best.
In The Last Girl, Jane Casey once again demonstrates her
ability to write vivid, three-dimensional characters and
spin a gripping, unpredictable mystery.
