Casey is a true craftswoman, a writer who beguiles one
through the most twisted of plots with a confident and
seductive hand. Let The Dead Speak is sharp, complex and
gripping to the very end. - Alex Marwood, bestselling author of Wicked Girls and
The Killer Next Door
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 neighbourhood’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.
With Let the Dead Speak, Jane Casey returns with
another taut, richly drawn novel that will grip readers
from the opening pages to the stunning conclusion.
