Shed No Tears

A Novel

De: Caz Frear

Narrado por: Jane Collingwood

Acclaimed and internationally bestselling crime novelist Caz Frear returns with her third superb novel featuring Cat Kinsella, a cop “on par with Susie Steiner’s and Tana French’s female detectives” (Kirkus Reviews).

Four victims. Killer caught. Case closed. . . or is it?

Growing up in a London family with ties to organized crime, Detective Constable Cat Kinsella knows the criminal world better than most cops do. As a member of the city’s Metropolitan Police, she’s made efforts to distinguish herself from her relatives. But leading an upstanding life isn’t always easy, and Cat has come close to crossing the line, a fact she keeps well hidden from her superiors.

Working their latest case, Cat and her partner Luigi Parnell discover a connection to a notorious criminal: serial killer Christopher Masters, who abducted and killed several women in 2012. Though the cops eventually apprehended him, his final victim, Holly Kemp, was never found and he never confessed to her murder, despite the solid eyewitness testimony against him. Now, six years later, the discovery of Holly’s remains near Cambridge seems to be the definitive proof needed to close the case.

Still, a few key items of evidence don’t quite line up. As Cat and Parnell look closer, they find discrepancies that raise troubling questions. But someone will do anything to keep past secrets hidden—and as they inch closer to the truth, they may be putting themselves in jeopardy . . .

excellent book, excellent series

I've listened to all three in this Cat Kinsella series and only wish there were more.

When does the next book come out

I can’t wait for the next book.
I enjoy all the characters in this book.

Kept me listening the whole time! But Yikes the American accents tho!

I gave just 4 stars to the narrator because, while I can only assume the different accents used to portray English and Irish accents were accurate, the accents for the Americans were distracting to say the least. Let’s just say that no American I’ve ever met sounded like any of those characters. Lol Having been born and raised on the Eastern Seaboard of the US and travelled extensively throughout the country, I can say with much confidence no one talks quite like they did. Maybe an American accent is harder to replicate than I imagined.

Love ths series!!! Unpredictable!

When you listen to a bunch of myteries and thrillers like I do, it's hard to find book that 'stands out'. Lots of plots are predictable. Stumbling across this series was really serendipitous. Started with book 1 and listened in order. Originally hated the main character as she seemed to be fill of an air of 'self-rightousness' and a victim mentality. But, aren't we all flawed in some way? I love it when books highlight this fact - makes it more real to life. Anyways, the plots in these books are very, very "well-woven" and I like how the police procedural-type dialogue lets the discovery of the true culprit evolve naturally; without "video-tape evidence all of a sudden coming to light" which... BAM!! Nails the culprit..!! Nope! This series keeps you in suspense and is very very entertaining and distracting from real life! Love it.

Whoa!

I’m enjoying this series immensely! I can’t wait for the next book either!!! Hopefully soon!
