Critic reviews

"A tremendous sense of suspense." (Sunday Times)

"I was utterly gripped by Let the Dead Speak, a plotting masterpiece, and am in awe of its sheer pace and drive." (Susie Steiner, author of best seller Missing, Presumed)

"Casey is a true craftswoman, a writer who beguiles one through the most twisted of plots with a confident and seductive hand. Let the Dead Speak is sharp, complex and gripping to the very end." (Alex Marwood, best-selling author of Wicked Girls and The Killer Next Door)

Caroline Lennon does an amazing job with this series of books. I’ve listened to them back to back and am now following others she has narrated. Just want a book 8 now!!

Fantastic!

Great story and characters. I just got irritated with the frequency of using “biting one’s lip” as a descriptor.

Just one irritation

I started off feeling very bored and disconnected from the book. Not because the story was bad but because the pace was so slow. I've never heard a narrator read so slowly! However, after cranking the speed up to 1.4 I flew through the book and loved the pace. The plot is very cleverly thought out and the tangled web of characters is very interesting. This is my first Jane Casey novel but it won't be my last!

crank the speed up and it's a great book!

It makes we wonder if real detectives would be so passionate about their work, perhaps some would, but how many would take the easy wins rather than the right result. Another can’t put it down read.

Entertaining and emotionally engaging
