Rumours…
Everyone’s heard the rumours about elite gentlemen’s clubs, where the champagne flows freely, the parties are outrageous…and what goes on behind closed doors is darker than you could possibly imagine.

Paige Hargreaves was a young journalist working on a story about a club for the most privileged men in London. She was on the brink of exposing a shocking scandal. Then she disappeared.

I've listened to all the Maeve Kerrigan books so far and have to say this one was the best! The story was detailed in respect of both Maeve's professional and personal life. I feel there are some similarities to the Strike novels, where the relationship between Maeve and Josh is mirroring , in some ways, Strike and Robin's. But the novels are very different and each hold their own. I did wonder if this was the final book the way it ended but see there are 3 more to go. I will download the next one now!
