Summary

'A gripping mystery lies at the heart of this atmospheric and wonderfully written police procedural' Brian McGilloway

'Meticulously plotted... a terrific read' Myles McWeeney, Irish Independent

'It's a good 'un... with the ups and downs of family life beautifully written' Belfast Telegraph

A fatal fire in a holiday let on Slievemore, Achill Island, leaves one person dead and another missing. Deemed arson, DS Lucy Golden and her team are tasked with solving the murder and locating the missing woman, Moira Delaney. As the case develops, the pressure builds when it transpires that Moira's father is a gangland figure, a suspect in three unsolved murders. If Lucy doesn't uncover what happened that morning in Slievemore, he will deploy his men to deal out his own sort of justice.

Things get even more complicated when a laptop is uncovered that could ruin all that Lucy holds dear. And as the net on the suspect tightens, Lucy faces a hard choice - will she use it to save herself and bring a murderer to justice, or bury it and save her family and her career?

'With the raw and savagely beautiful Achill Island as a fitting backdrop, a tense and gut-wrenching plotline, and a cast of expertly drawn characters, Murphy delivers up a gritty and emotional reading experience' Zoe Miller

Another corker!

Martina Murphy I truly hope that this series is one of those ones that goes on for many many years! I am hooked. Aoife McMahon is such a great narrator for your books. The characters just come alive. For people looking for something a bit more edgy than classic cozy, and nothing that keeps you awake at night, this series really hits the spot.

Importance of getting the right audible reader

ok book but the naratiion was awful. So bad it made me want to get a refund when that's not the authors fault. I definitely would not buy another book from this author because of this.
