A notorious family…

The country-house lifestyle of the Carter family may seem picture-perfect, but they aren't what they appear to be.

A man with one goal…

Undercover cop Rob Langton has one aim – to bring the family down.

And his time is running out…

But Rob soon realises the Carters aren't just dangerous criminals. If he can't stop them, the consequences will be explosive.

Look out for the latest book in Jane Casey’s brilliant Maeve Kerrigan and Josh Derwent series, A Stranger in the Family, out now!

Critic reviews

'Fast-paced and action-packed' Woman & Home December Book of the Month

'Pacy, gripping and tightly plotted, this book works both as a standalone and as a way into Casey’s excellent series' Guardian

'A timely novel, to say the least of it, The Outsider employs the conventions of spy fiction to devastating effect, as Casey skewers nativist populism, the enablers of domestic violence and the arrogant patriarchy of the old boys’ club in an understated thriller that quietly thrums along at a breakneck pace – think Succession with an undercover agent of chaos tossed into the maelstrom and you won’t be too far off the mark … The Outsider is a novel that easily matches the quality of her best work to date' Irish Times

I already know I will listen to it again. It was such a treat. My favorite series.

Another FANTASTIC book in the Maeve series

I rarely review but this one is so wonderful I had to gush about it. We get a peek at our beloved Maeve from another viewpoint (and a peek at Josh, if you love him too). Old mysteries about Rob are solved, obviously, but there is nothing obvious about how Casey tells that tale and catches us up to the present. The writing is nuanced and thoughtful. Personally, I was captivated by the examination of the effects of trauma on people who must regularly face violence and the worst aspects of humanity. Not many authors get it, IMO. This one is not to be missed in the Casey canon. Cannot wait for the next book.

Outstanding entry to the story lines

I listen to a lot of audiobooks - most of which are mysteries/police procedural. This was the best book I have listened to in sometime.

So good

Jane Casey does it again. Every book is better than the last. Great seeing Rob and learning what was going on with him when he disappeared. He did. Great job of anchoring a book on his own and we still got to see Maeve and Josh. Fantastic book.

Wow!

Loving this as a new spin-off of the Kerrigan series...Casey makes Rob just as compelling and relatable a protagonist as Maeve, and seems like he deserves his time away from the inexorable gravitational pull of Maeve and Derwent! I'm all for it, and will be looking for future installments of Rob's series!
