The Last Girl by Jane Casey

This was the first book I had read by Jane Casey and I'm afraid to say that it didn't do it for me. It started really well with a double murder and an uninterested father. There were some interesting finds about the people who were killed, however these finds were not really delved into much more.

All the concentration went on the uninterested father who was also a lawyer and who had some enemies, but nothing if significant interest was uncovered.

By the time I got halfway through the book I had to give up. It felt like I was reading another book altogether. There was mention if a post mortem but the results hadn't been revealed and no other murders had taken place. There was more focus on relationships between the colleagues investigating than there was on the horrific murder.

I have been finding it hard recently to be excited about crime novels so me not enjoying it might just be down to my current mood. I would urge other crime fiction lovers to try it as it might be good for them, but I couldn't finish it, which was a shame.
