About this listen

 '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©2024 Martina Murphy (P)2024 Hachette Audio UK Crime Crime Fiction Murder

Really enjoyed this story with all its twists.
Main character fascinating, strong and vulnerable.
I also enjoy the links to the previous story.
This will happen again in the next one, which is great if you have questions or want to follow up the characters.
Excellent narration. How long till the next one?

Excellent as all books from this series

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.

Another corker!

I could listen to Aoife read just about anything, she is a spectacular narrator. However I also like Martina Murphy so this book was a bonus. As soon as this was finished I wanted another, I am becoming very fond of DS Lucy Golden. Worth a listen.

I am biased

Perfection. I love these characters, I love the pace, I love the way the story unfolds like a cloth. I didn’t love the sadness of the crimes in this one but that was personal.

This has got to be the most underrated series out there

Another brilliant read

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.
