Following recommendations from on here I’ve just read the whole Maeve Kerrigan series by Jane Casey over the Christmas holidays, and need to talk about my latest obsession!

has anyone else read them all? Happy to try and discuss without spoilers if people haven’t. They are basically brilliant police procedurals with a lot of character-driven background stuff - there are 10 main books, plus a few shorter spin offs set in the same world. The next one is out in March and I’d like to fill the gap with chat if possible!

Thoughts/predictions from me: Hoping beyond hope that the relationship stuff is resolved at least a bit in the next one, but predict more angst before it is. It might sort of ‘end’ the series - but then Casey could continue a series of the spin offs instead.

I had a question on chronology if anyone has read them all- wondering whether The Outsider (Rob spin off) is supposed to come before or after The Close? I think it matters for the relationship arc, and I can’t decide!

I mean, id take either. Think both Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender are the right type…

@Thebookwerm i would be very happy to sign up for and then share the short story BUT I can’t find any info about it! Is it on harper Collins? I’ve given up instagram so cut off from my best Maeve intel!

@Zitouna Jane is bundling it with pre orders for her new book ( our Maeve addiction is that bad)

You're missing out on all the edging for book 13 from JC if you're not on instagram. Every Friday Jane posts an excerpt from the new book.

It is! Makes waiting a little bit easier. I hope we don't get the wedding yet I want fiancee hijinks still. Sounds like Book 13 will be taking place directly after if its still winter.
