Reviews
"The first time I've encountered Maureen Carter and I really enjoyed this book, in particular the use of humour offsets the gruesome plot well. Detailed characters and enough twists to keep you guessing to the very last page."--D Bradley, reviewer
"There is something about a Maureen Carter crime novel that makes you want to invite the characters a in for a nice cuppa (or in most cases something a little stronger) and get them to dish the dirt. . . This is a crime novel with a particularly unpleasant individual committing the unacceptable, but it is also about ordinary people becoming involved in extraordinary events, through the wrong decisions being made for what they think are the right reasons. 'Next of Kin' is an intimate study of crime and human nature."--E Aldred, reviewer
"Sarah grows from an idea to a more fully realized character in this fourth installment of a series that may just be hitting its stride."--Kirkus Reviews
