‘If you haven’t read Jane Casey, start immediately’ Marian Keyes, the Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller

*Don’t miss the newest Maeve Kerrigan and Josh Derwent thriller – THE STRANGER IN THE FAMILY – out now!*

A Times best crime book of the year

Suburban bliss

The new neighbours seem just right for Jellicoe Close, a pretty street filled with perfect houses and happy families.

Sinister secrets

But one neat front door hides a ruthless criminal – and the new neighbours aren’t what they seem to be either. DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent are undercover, posing as a couple to investigate a deadly conspiracy.

Murderous deception

As they try to gather the evidence they need, they have no idea of the true threat they face – because someone in Jellicoe Close has murder on their mind…
What people are saying about The Close:

‘A full-blooded triple-decker mystery…The Close is Jane Casey at her very best’


The Times


‘A deliciously bingeable read’

Ruth Ware

‘Another cracker from Jane Casey’

Cara Hunter

‘Thrums with the tension of a classic crime thriller’

Sarah Hilary

‘The most dangerously addictive series in crime fiction’

Erin Kelly

‘The Close is Jane’s best Maeve Kerrigan novel yet. Absolutely brilliant!’

Liz Nugent

‘A brilliant example of nothing being as it seems’

Harriet Tyce

Jane Casey was born and brought up in Dublin. A former editor, she has written twelve crime novels for adults and three for teenagers.
