Steve and Lexi Brannigan are mourning the loss of their infant daughter Robin. Steve has stopped going to work, drinks a lot and drowns has grief with self pity and anger towards his wife Lexi who has taken to staying at her parents.

The creepy elements in this book were very well written and descriptive. I spent a lot of time wondering wtf was going through Lexis head during a lot of this and how they go to this point.

I felt like the ending was well done and left questions both answered and unanswered.

Was this a story of an enraged husband and father who disguised his guilt in pity and whiskey? Or is it a metaphor for the depths of grief felt when you lose a child?


I have put a request in at my local library to have more of Kealan Patrick Burke’s books brought in because his spooky style has left me wanting more!
