The Murder Mile
2019
"Jo, it's me. We've found another body." A body is discovered on a canal towpath in the small Yorkshire town of Shipley. DCI Callum Ferguson calls on forensic psychologist Jo McCready to help investigate the mysterious crime. The victim is the second to be found on the canal in as many weeks, and Jo believes a single killer is responsible. Then, when one of her troubled patients is found brutally murdered, a puzzling connection is the murderer taking inspiration from the most notorious serial killer in Britain's history? As DCI Ferguson and Jo McCready race to find the killer, the investigation takes more twists and turns than Yorkshire's canals. And with more questions than answers, can they solve it before another body turns up? \

When a botched cold case resurfaces, and the mistress of a controversial billionaire philanthropist is found dead, Jo discovers all these crimes are tangled up in the same web of deadly local secrets. Secrets that some will kill to protect . . . An expert in the field of psychology and profiling, crime author Lesley McEvoy uses her insider knowledge to create gripping, unique crime novels.

A Deadly Likeness
2023
Jacob Malecki killed fifteen people over a thirteen-year period. At the height of the murders, Dr. Jo McCready was at university and, as an exercise, compiled a profile of Malecki, which broke open the case and helped send him down for life. Twenty-five years later a copycat killer is re-creating his murders. What's more, Malecki offers to help the police catch him from his own prison cell. Malecki claims he's repenting for his crimes. Jo doubts it, but as the body count rises, she can't ignore the killer's offer. What does he really want - and can Jo find out before anyone else dies?
