About this audiobook

‘A hugely promising debut’ Irish Independent

‘Gripping and pacy’ Steve Cavanagh, Sunday Times bestselling author of Fifty Fifty

‘They’re dead. They’re all dead. It’s my fault. I killed them.’

Those are the words of Iona Gardener, who stands bloodied and staring as she confesses to the murder of four people in a run-down cottage outside of Belfast.

Outside the cottage, five old dolls are hanging from a tree. Inside the cottage, the words “WHO TOOK EDEN MULLIGAN?” are graffitied on the wall, connecting the murder scene with the famous cold case of Eden Mulligan, a mother-of-five who went missing during The Troubles.

But this case is different. Right from the start.

Because no one in the community is willing to tell the truth, and the only thing DI Danny Stowe and forensic psychologist Rose Lainey can be certain of is that Iona Gardener’s confession is false....

A tense, atmospheric and utterly gripping story, perfect for fans of Patricia Gibney, Angela Marsons and Rachel Caine.

**The next title in this unputdownable series The Midnight Killing is available to read now!***

Sharon Dempsey's gift is to write about real people, her characters leap from the page fully formed and the reader is totally involved in their lives and their histories. The novel opens when Rose Lainey, a forensic psychologist, returns to Belfast after a long absence and calls in to see her friend D.I. Danny Stowe for a catch up. Before she knows where she is Danny is trying to persuade her to take a sabbatical from her London job, to assist him in solving a murder case that has just landed on his desk, together with a confession, the problem being that there is no way that the confession can be true. Needless to say Rose, who has her own problems with Belfast, decides to participate and the mysteries unfold from there. Melaine MacHugh's narration is a perfect match.This novel is absolutely gripping from the word go, and it doesn't let the reader/listener go until the very end. Even then you want to know what happens next - a definite 50 star recommendation from me!
