    About this ebook

    Winner of the Irish Crime Fiction Book of the Year Award Thirty-five years ago Adrian Hamilton drowned. At the time his death was deemed a tragic accident but the exact circumstances remain a mystery. His daughter Clodagh now visits a hypnotherapist in an attempt to come to terms with her past, and her father's death. As disturbing childhood memories are unleashed, memories of another tragedy begin to come to light.
    Meanwhile criminal psychologist Dr Kate Pearson is called to assist in a murder investigation after a body is found in a Dublin canal. And when Kate digs beneath the surface of the killing, she discovers a sinister connection to the Hamilton family. Time is running out for Clodagh and Kate.
    And the killer has already chosen his next victim . . .

      This book came recommended highly, and the author won a couple of awards for this book, but it did not work for me at all. Way too much jumping around, lots of characters and situations described but I never knew who was related to who or why they were part of the story only to find later that they didn’t seem to have any bearing on the actual story, and worst of all ridiculously short chapters so that there was never enough development of what was going on. I gave up half way through.As I said before the author won “best Irish crime novel for this book but for the life of me I don’t see how.
    • 4/5
      I did guess the murderer quite early on, the end was a bit off, but overall not a bad read. The murderer viewpoint didn't really add to the story and almost got in the way. When a TV star dies it makes the front pages and the Gardai are under pressure to find out who did it, when a second man, a homeless man dies, things get complicated, trying to find the links when it's obvious that the murderer of both is the same man. Meanwhile Clodagh, in an abusive realationship, is hunting for answers about her childhood and the gaps in her memory, and the reasons for her alcohol abuse, goes to a hypnotherapist. What she finds in her past will change her life forever.It's not a bad read, felt a bit lacking in some places and the end was unsatisfactory for me.

      Interminably dull

      Louise's second novel is as good as her debut, Red Ribbons. A psychological thriller one can not put down and it ends with a twist. another brilliant read
