The Kill | Litsy

pick

Stayed up past my bedtime last night to finish the Kill. I love Maeve but this book wasn‘t a favorite of mine so far in this series. I felt like some of the story lines fell flat or rushed. But it was worth reading. I‘m starting to have a soft spot for Derwent even though he call be a dill hole. I‘d give it 3.5 🌟

👏🏻EVERY👏🏻BOOK👏🏻IS👏🏻BETTER👏🏻AND👏🏻BETTER👏🏻
To be quite frank, the first book in the Maeve Kerrigan series, The Burning, is the weakest of the series so far. Normally you‘d think it would be a sophomoric sequel that would be less than stellar, but not so!
•
Author Jane Casey really knows how to build the suspense. This isn‘t your run of the mill police procedural. Independent heroines, engrossing cases, and three dimensional characters!

TrishB Love this series 👍🏻 one of a handful I‘m up to date with. 4y

ReadswithWeenies @TrishB My library doesn‘t own them, so I‘ve been having to use the interlibrary loan system and it‘s agony having to wait 3 weeks for the next book to come in! This is a series that I think I will start to collect once I‘ve caught up to the last book! 4y

Det Maeve Kerrigan & DI Josh Derwent are called back to London while attending a wedding. A policeman has been murdered. The secret that her boss, Godley, has been keeping for years is going to blow up in his face. Lots of transitions going on in Maeve's life. I need to find out what will happen with Maeve's relationships & with her job. Best book of the series and makes you want to read the next book. Highly recommended!

It started off a bit slow, but it picked up quickly and I absolutely loved it! Maeve goes through many hard things in this book, which makes me love her even more. Someone is killing police officers, and no one is safe. Even though Maeve doesn‘t know it she is fiercely strong! The ending makes me want to read the next book immediately! I‘m getting a “Frieda Klein vibe” from this book. ❤️

Andrew65, EadieB

Andrew65 Totally agree with your review, especially about the ending. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I'm starting this one today! Nice review and can't wait to read it! 5y

Tove_Reads @EadieB It gets better after the slow beginning! 5y

EadieB @Tove_Reads Good to know! 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Agree about that, took me quite a while to get into this one. 5y

Time to start The Kill, Book 5 in the Maeve Kerrigan Series, which I am reading with @EadieB and @Tove_Reads
#MaeveKerriganSeriesRead #JaneCasey
Doing this one by audiobook.

Tove_Reads How are you doing on this one? 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I‘ve finished, how about you? 5y

Tove_Reads I‘ll finish it later today. When are we reading the next Cara Black? I couldn‘t find the second book, so I ordered it today. It‘ll take more than a week to get it. 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads We had set today‘s date for the Cara Black Book, I‘ve had to use audio to do it. What are your thoughts on The Kill? 5y

Tove_Reads Ok, I‘ll just catch up when I get the book. I like it, maybe not my fave in the series, but I do enjoy her writing. I love Maeve, although I don‘t always feel she‘s making the right choices. Actually, that is probably good, since people rarely act the way I want them to 😁 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I felt the second half was better than the first half, felt it took a long while to get going in the first half and for me to be that interested in the plotting. Very interesting towards the end which makes me wan to read the next one. 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Sounds good to me. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_reads I thought we read Maeve around the 19th of the month. 5y

Tove_Reads @eadieb We decided maybe a few weeks back to read it this week, unless I remember it wrong. @Andrew65 5y

EadieB @Tove_Reads I didn't get that message but probably won't get to it until the weekend as I haven't started A Great Deliverance or Poppet yet. @Andrew65 5y

Tove_Reads @eadieb Maybe I remember it wrong? I thought Poppet was next week. You might be right. 5y

EadieB @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 I did write down that
wk of 8/6 was Jackdaws and Police @ The Station etc.
wk of 8/13 was Poppet and A Great Deliverance,
8/19 is Quentins by Maeve Binchy
wk of 8/20 was The Kill and A Conspiracy of Violence,
8/22 is Murder @ Bellville by Cara Black and
Friday 8/23 is The Black Echo by Michael Connelly Group Read on LibraryThing. (edited) 5y

Tove_Reads @EadieB Cool, then it was the other way around 🙂 5y

EadieB @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 We can see what Andrew thinks too! (edited) 5y

Tove_Reads @eadieb have them both, so doesn‘t matter to me! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB That schedule is fine with me. 😊👍 @Tove_Reads 5y

The crime aspect of this fifth book in the series was fairly pedestrian. It was the dynamics between Maeve & others that were both intriguing & infuriating.

I do not want a Derwent/Maeve romantic pairing, & I dislike the fact that the author contrived to not only remove Maeve‘s boyfriend, Rob, from the scene but also to make him act completely out of character. Not impressed. 2⭐️

Great edition to the series! Great crime plot at the centre, but lots of other things going on in Maeve's life. Maeve is a great MC even if you want to shake her sometimes!
