I really loved the idea of Maeve getting a much needed break at the start of this book when she's at her colleague's wedding. I know I completely gush about Derwent but I really like Maeve! She's tough, super smart, and sarcastic, yet also feminine and I love getting to know her outside of her job. She has the best insight into herself as she often knows what she's about to say or do isn't going to go well for her but she'll do it anyway. While enjoying time off the job at the wedding, there's a very interesting scene between Derwent and Maeve (hint..it involves dancing) that literally left me breathless...I think Jane Casey wants my head to explode over these two characters!! Soon enough, however, the job intervenes and they return to London to investigate the murder of a policeman. This murder is not at all what it seems and worry starts to build that other police officers may be targeted as well. Then, we have Maeve's on-going cat & mouse with her stalker from a previous book, her continued love/hate relationship with Derwent, her relationship crisis with Rob, as well as Superintendent Godley's secrets coming back to haunt him...all in all there's drama and suspense coming from every angle and I loved every second of it.
