Jane Casey’s standalone novels offer a different experience from her Maeve Kerrigan police procedurals. The Missing (2010), her earliest standalone, was published the same year as the first Kerrigan book. The Killing Kind (2021) is a psychological thriller about a woman being stalked by a man she once helped convict, while The Outsider (2023) explores secrets and suspicion within a close-knit community.
These books allow Casey to step outside the police procedural framework and write from different perspectives. The thriller elements are strong, and readers who enjoy the Kerrigan series will find the same sharp plotting and character work applied to standalone stories.
