When Detective Constable Maeve Kerrigan arrives at the scene, London defense attorney Philip Kennford's wife and twin daughter have been brutally murdered.Philip and his second favorite daughter, Lydia, both claim to have seen nothing. Maeve soon finds herself entangled in a case with an unhappy family accustomed to keeping secrets. This book seemed a bit long to me and slowed down in parts. The characters feel very real and I'm enjoying the parts about Maeve and Rob's relationship. I found the murderer to be somewhat predictable. Other than that, I found the story engrossing and I look forward to reading the next one in the series. I would recommend this series to those who love police procedurals.
