Caz Frear – författare

“A gripping mystery starring a fascinating female detective . . . an exciting debut procedural that will leave readers wanting more from Caz Frear.” —BustleTwenty-six-year-old Cat Kinsella overcame a troubled childhood to become a Detective Constable with the Metropolitan Police Force, but she’s never been able to banish these ghosts. When she’s called to the scene of a murder in Islington, not far from the pub her estranged father still runs, she discovers that Alice Lapaine, a young housewife who didn’t get out much, has been found strangled.Cat and her team immediately suspect Alice’s husband, until she receives a mysterious phone call that links the victim to Maryanne Doyle, a teenage girl who went missing in Ireland eighteen years earlier. The call raises uneasy memories for Cat—her family met Maryanne while on holiday, right before she vanished. Though she was only a child, Cat knew that her charming but dissolute father wasn’t telling the truth when he denied knowing anything about Maryanne or her disappearance. Did her father do something to the teenage girl all those years ago? Could he have harmed Alice now? And how can you trust a liar even if he might be telling the truth?Determined to close the two cases, Cat rushes headlong into the investigation, crossing ethical lines and trampling professional codes. But in looking into the past, she might not like what she finds . . .“A gripping mystery.” —People“A dark and smart page-turner.” —The New York Times“Outstanding . . . a confident first novel that successfully melds the police procedural with the psychological thriller.” —South Florida Sun Sentinel

The bestselling author of Sweet Little Lies brings back Cat Kinsella, an investigator “on par with Susie Steiner’s and Tana French’s female detectives” (Kirkus Reviews).After a brief stint in the Mayor’s Office, Detective Constable Cat Kinsella is back at the London Metropolitan Police, wisecracking with her partner Luigi Parnell and trying to avoid the wrath of their boss.But for Cat and Parnell, it’s serious business when a young Australian woman turns up dead after a party thrown by her new boss. The initial investigation points to Joseph Madden, the owner of a coffee shop around the corner from police headquarters. Madden insists he’s innocent, that he was home with his wife Rachel at the time of the murder. When police question her, Rachel contradicts his alibi, swearing that she was home alone.While the team builds its case against Joseph, Cat is tasked with getting to the heart of the Maddens’ marriage. Cat knows that one of them is lying—but the question of which one, and why, is far more complicated than she could have expected. As she tries to balance the demands of the investigation with a budding romance and unresolved family drama, Cat has to decide how far she’ll go to keep her own past mistakes buried.With her trademark wit and brilliant plotting, Caz Frear ratchets up the tension and keeps you guessing as she explores the secrets we keep from our loved ones—and the ones we’d kill to keep safe in the dark.“Another can’t-miss summer hit . . . spellbinding from start to finish . . . masterfully written.” —New York Journal of Books

Some cases just won’t stay closed . . . A gripping mystery starring an unlikely London cop “on par with Susie Steiner’s and Tana French’s female detectives” (Kirkus Reviews).Growing up in a family with ties to organized crime, Detective Constable Cat Kinsella knows the criminal world better than most cops do. As a member of the 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 serial killer who abducted and killed several women in 2012. Though he was eventually apprehended, 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. Until Cat and Parnell start to notice some troubling discrepancies . . . “Brilliant dialogue, clear plotting and unique voice. This is my favorite in the series to date.” —Ann Cleeves, New York Times–bestselling author of the Shetland Mysteries “Whip-smart, brutally blunt, and always hilarious, Cat Kinsella is one of the best investigators in crime fiction today . . . a wickedly twisted plot . . . another riveting story in a must-read series.” —Kelsey Rae Dimberg, author of Girl in the Rearview Mirror“Tense, twisting and terrific.” —Lancashire Post

Fue capturado, pero nunca encontraron a Holly Kemp, su ultima victima... hasta ahora. Cuando se desentierran los restos de Holly en un campo de Camdridgeshire, llaman a la detective Cat Kinsella para un caso que va a ser muy facil. Pero inmediatamente le surgen preguntas: por que Holly ha aparecido enterrada tan lejos de las otras victimas? Y por que la manera de asesinarla a ella fue distinta?Ahora que Masters ya ha muerto y que han aparecido pistas nuevas, Cat tiene poco de donde tirar salvo su intuicion, que le esta diciendo que el verdadero asesino sigue suelto. Pero si uno hubiera conseguido salir impune de un crimen, que no haria por dejar que el pasado siga estando donde debe estar?

Cat Kinsella siempre ha sido el ojito derecho de su padre, hasta el verano de 1998, cuando ve a su padre coqueteando con Maryanne Doyle, una chica de diecisiete anos. Cuando mas tarde Maryanne desaparece y su padre niega conocerla, la relacion con el cambia para siempre. Han pasado dieciocho anos y ahora Cat es una agente de la Policia Metropolitana de Londres. Cuando acude al escenario del crimen de un asesinato cometido en King's Cross, descubre el cuerpo de una mujer, Alice Lapaine, que ha sido estrangulada no muy lejos del pub que ahora regenta su padre. Cuando las pruebas relacionan a Alice con Maryanne, que aun continua desaparecida, afloran de nuevo todos los antiguos miedos que Cat tenia respecto de su padre. Es posible que de verdad sea un asesino? Decidida a enfrentarse al pasado, Cat empieza a investigar el caso .

La detective Cat Kinsella cree haber esquivado un problema domestico peliagudo cuando Joseph Madden, el dueno de la cafeteria a la que suele ir, le pide consejo sobre Rachel, su esposa. Segun Joseph, Rachel lo esta amenazando, pero no puede (o no quiere) decirle a Cat el porque de estas amenazas. Cat, achacando estos problemas a los de un matrimonio que se va al garete, se olvida pronto del asunto... hasta que, unos meses despues, Joseph es arrestado y acusado de asesinato. Pero no es a su mujer a quien, presuntamente, ha matado. La policia ha hallado el cadaver de Naomi Lockhart, una joven ayudante personal, tras una fiesta a la que acudio el matrimonio, y parece que Joseph y Naomi podrian haber sido amantes. No obstante, son las cosas tan evidentes como parecen? Si te gusta Tana French, Caz Frear es tu autora . Juan Carlos Galindo, El Pais Una escritora excepcional. Merece un diez .

Men Madden upprepar gång på gång sin oskuld och påstår att han var hemma med sin fru Rachel vid tidpunkten för mordet. Frun i sin tur hävdar att hon var hemma på egen hand. Polisen Cat Kinsella får i uppdrag att kartlägga paret Maddens äktenskap, och hon märker genast att det präglas av fler lögner än hon någonsin kunnat ana. Det verkar dessutom vara andra familjemedlemmar inblandade, som både skyddar och sviker varandra. Spåren leder Kinsella till ett olöst mord på en annan ung kvinna. Men frågan kvarstår – vad har familjen Madden med de mördade flickorna att göra? Alla verkar vara inblandade, men ingen yttrar ett ord.
