The Secret Room by Jane Casey

5.0

medium-paced

---

Illaria Cavendish checks into a luxury hotel and shortly after, her secret lover finds her dead in a bath full of scalding hot water. All signs point to murder but how could that be possible when no one entered or left the room!

A fab locked room murder mystery case intertwined with the drama following "that phone call" at the end of the last book, Maeve is being pulled in all directions and is struggling with everyone in her life telling her to walk away from the drama. 

This book was really unputdownable! 

While all books in the Maeve Kerrigan series work as standalones, this is one that you won't fully appreciate if you haven't experienced the build up from previous books regarding the Maeve/Derwent saga!

Thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollins for providing a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.
