As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Story
Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

Thomas Kilbride is a map-obsessed schizophrenic so affected that he rarely leaves the self-imposed bastion of his bedroom. But with a computer program called Whirl360.com, he travels the world while never so much as stepping out the door. He pores over and memorizes the streets of the world. He examines every address, as well as the people who are frozen in time on his computer screen. Then he sees something that anyone else might have stumbled upon - but has not - in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An image that looks like a woman being murdered.

Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England. It’s the sort of place where doctors and lawyers and old-money academics live. It’s not the sort of place where people get stabbed in the back 30 times with a kitchen knife in their own homes. Someone must have seen something. Newlywed Joey Mullen, for example, recently returned from four years of working in Ibiza. She and her husband, Alfie, are eager to find a place of their own in her hometown. But Joey finds herself distracted by the man next door, Tom Fitzwilliam.

Home alone with her young children during a blizzard, a mother tucks her son back into bed in the middle of the night. She hears a noise—old houses are always making some kind of noise. But this sound is disturbingly familiar: it’s the tread of footsteps, unusually heavy and slow, coming up the stairs. Shrouded in the shadows, she sees the figure of a man appear down the hallway. Terrified, she quietly wakes her children and hustles them into the oldest part of the house, a tiny, secret room concealed behind a wall.

wow! Not your usual Maeve Kerrigan!
I've been reading Jane Casey for about a year the year now, and Ive read all of her Maeve Kerrigan stories. This is not Maeve Kerrigan. However, it is is creative challenging and well planned, well paced thriller.. It's a good story with believable characters and plenty of suspense and surprises.
The main character is the more sophisticated character than Maeve, And I found that refreshing. She's an adult lawyer, and she she has all the challenges of a young adult professional in the world, except that she has a particular client who won't let her go....

Not Maeve, but very entertaining
I approached this new Jane Casey entry with caution since it appeared to be either a new series or a standalone outside of the Maeve Kerrigan universe. Fans should stick with it. It gets better as it develops and apparent plot holes are filled. Some twists were guessable, some had me fooled, but I was certainly grabbed by the Need to Read until the end.

Too many "red herrings"
I like Jane Casey's writing, but this one was over the top for believability. Too many red herrings and the heroine was needless reckless and sometimes downright stupid to be believable as a lawyer.

great story and great performance
it was so nice to listen to such a long audio book that kept my attention the whole time. I just wish the narrator would have lowered her voice for male voices because in some of the conversations it was hard to tell who was talking. but I still gave her four stars because the female voices were so good.

Terrific!
This is one of the best mystery-thrillers I have ever read, but that isn’t a surprise. If you haven’t read Casey’s other works, treat yourself to all of them. Some writers’ diminish with each successive book. Others, like Jane , just keep getting better and better. The Killing Kind had so many twists and turns that I was kept guessing until the very end. It was great.

Just Luke Warm
Big fan here of Jane Casey's previous police novels. Her characters, plots, and overall atmosphere have consistently held my interest and I have invested many an Audible credit in her books. I was prepared to love this novel. Unfortunately, the various plot paths
simply didn't grip me. And I found it hard to keep track of the characters. It didn't help that two minor but key characters had the same first name. Why do this? The narrator performed in a flat voice. I didn't hate the book. The lead character is strong and courageous. However, I doubt that I'll purchase another book featuring her if this turns out to be the start of a series.

Starts strong
I have to say the plot got quite stretched as the story unfolded. The protagonist has to be the unluckiest person on earth what with all that goes on around her. Some of the plot goes way beyond what is remotely believable, and one of the characters is way too much of a (bad) scarlet pimpernel. But it’s the kind of book you have to stick with to try to figure out who did what (if you are me!). I note other reviewers did not finish for probably the same reasons. Well narrated which carried me to the end.
