Book Synopsis:
Has the killer in DC Maggie Neville’s cold case returned after a decade of silence?
Katy Pope was seventeen when she was brutally murdered on a family holiday in Majorca. Despite her mother’s high rank in the Met and the joint major investigation between the British and Spanish police, Katy’s killer was never caught.
Ten years later, Katy’s family return to the Spanish island to launch a fresh appeal for information, taking with them the now skeletal team of investigating Met detectives, and newly seconded Maggie as the family liaison officer.
But Maggie’s first international investigation quickly goes from being more than just a press conference when another British girl there on holiday goes missing, and Katy’s killer announces that it’s time for an encore . . .

My Review:
Dead Guilty is the fourth book in the DC Maggie Neville series and quite possibly the best yet! I thoroughly enjoyed this twisty and gripping read which kept me guessing until the end.
In this book the author has cleverly breathed new life into the series with Maggie moving to the Met to help them with a cold case. I felt this allowed the reader to learn more about Maggie as she is in a new, unfamiliar situation working with a team who aren’t the same quality as the one she’s used to. This means she has to think between the lines a bit more and shows off parts of her personality we haven’t seen before which made the book very interesting.
The police procedural part of this book was very well done and felt realistic as it was solved without any huge leaps in evidence or strange coincidences. Instead the reader is able to follow the investigation from the start which made me feel more involved in the story as I tried to piece together the clues alongside the characters. There were a lot of red herrings, with the spotlight being put on different characters until the surprising reveal at the end which always makes for a fantastic read!
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Pan Macmillan for my copy of this book. I really hope this isn’t the last we’ll see of Maggie!
