After the Fire by Jane CaseyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Big problem here: I have to read the first 5 books of this series asap! Really, this book was perfect. I don't know if I'm sad that I haven't read the previous books or happy that I found a new series and that I have 5 more books to add to my ever growing TBR shelf.
For me, it has all of the elements needed: it's a police procedure, set in the UK, with a very smart, brave and human female main character.
Maeve Kerrigan is in a slump: her boyfriend left a few months ago without any explanation (I guess I have to read book 5 to get a better grasp of this situation, but this book works as a stand alone), her health is not so great and they have a new substitute chief who can be a pain. There's a stalker after her. And last, but not least, her partner, is crashing at her place.
And the fire/crime scene which they are currently investigating is also where she was attacked once, so definitely not a good place to be.
When one of the people found dead turns out to be an important politician, the investigation takes another turn, as other interests take precedent now.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
