When eighteen-year-old Chloe Emery returns to her West London home she finds her mother missing, the house covered in blood. Everything points to murder, except for one thing: there s no sign of the body.

London detective Maeve Kerrigan and the homicide team turn their attention to the neighbours. The ultra-religious Norrises are acting suspiciously; their teenage daughter and Chloe Emery definitely have something to hide. Then there s William Turner, once accused of stabbing a schoolmate and the neighborhood s favorite criminal. Is he merely a scapegoat, or is there more behind the charismatic facade?

As a body fails to materialize, Maeve must piece together a patchwork of testimonies and accusations. Who is lying, and who is not? And soon Maeve starts to realize that not only will the answer lead to Kate Emery, but more lives may hang in the balance.

Another great book from this series, one that I *must have* as soon as I know it will go out.
Engaging story, good characteres, some nice twists, it just lacked a bit of suspense maybe on the "bad guys".
I love how Maeve and Derwent's relationship has evolved, a new character appeared but I don't know if it will last, and was a bit disappointed with the resolution (??) of Rob's story.
