The Last Girl by Jane Casey
I continue to plod through this series. If in order to read this series, I had to buy the books, I wouldn't be reading this series. Lots of whining. And I had completely forgotten this book when I started in on the fourth book. I went to check the order of the series and the listing said I needed to read The Last Girl next before reading the book I was starting. I was happy to realize I had The Last Girl and started to read it, quickly realizing it was the book I just finished. The Old Timers hits hard some days.
The Last Girl starts with a double murder of a mother and a daughter. The husband is knocked unconscious. The other daughter discovers the murder after finishing up her swim in the pool. Cue detectives.
Maeve continues to fight with everyone around her including her partner Derwent. Rob, her boyfriend and fellow police officer, continues to be too good to be true. There is also a gang war going on between two mob bosses introduced in the reckoning. Maeve's stalker also pops up.
As the to the main murder, it's full of despicable characters. The father is a self involved lawyer who's been cheating on his wife since the wedding. The Wife's sister doesn't want anything to do with the family. It's all ugly. The series really could use some levity.
I have one more book from the library and then I think I will be done with this character.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
