This book brought back memories of a long lost fling with a guy from Belfast in the 80s. It was during the Trouble and I remember the descriptions of what was living in Belfast and feeling strongly for a side (he was catholic).
I found some of those memories in this tense, thrilling and gripping story that mixes present with events from the past in a quite bleak atmosphere.
There is no good or bad, there are stories from the past that still affects the present and can hurt or kill.
This was my first meeting with DI Owens and Aoife McCusker and I don’t think it will be the last because I found these characters damaged but also extremely interesting and realistic.
This is a gripping story, full of twists and turns, that will keep you on the edge till the last page. There is hope but there’s also a lot of emotional hurt and we can only hope that those wounds will heal.
The descriptions of the places are fascinating and the character development is excellent.
The mystery is solid and couldn’t stop reading.
An excellent story which is also a good way to learn about stories we forgot or removed. You can learn and being entertained at the same time.
Strongly recommended.
