Summary

On an isolated farm in southern Ireland, a decades-old grave houses the dismembered bones of 11 women. Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire of the Irish Gardai is used to bloodshed, but these white bones speak of unimaginable butchery.

Not far away, a young American tourist is at the mercy of a sadistic killer. His tools are a boning knife, twine, and a doll fashioned from rags, nails, and fish-hooks. The murder of his victims is secondary only to his pleasure at their pain.

As more and more victims are ritualistically murdered, Katie Maguire finds that she must solve an ancient Irish mystery to catch a terrifying present-day killer.

Great Book

Brilliant ... So happy to have found a new author . The narrator was excellent and coped with the different accents extremely well.

Fast forward the gory bits...

Liked the narrator. Story was okay but not as compelling as some of his other bits. Had to fast forward the gory chapters in the end - they were just too much for me and also rather repetitive.

Sinister and brutal - not for the faint hearted

The torture scenes were so graphic and brutal, I gave up on this book quite early - don’t like gratuitous violence, not for me. A return!

Fantastic book - but haunting

This was a skilled story without doubt - but the content leaves you with an uneasy heart - not for the faint hearted.

A gripping read

Strong characters, an intricate portrait of the interactions between personal faith and daily modern life,

I wish the grand denoument was based on something else - but can give no details except for spoilers! Kicking down is easy and this author can do better.

Horrific but intriguing.

Good yarn but not for the faint hearted. Disappointing that I had worked out the storyline long before the end. I just can’t comprehend how such a stupid woman managed to attain the rank of Superintendent.

Gripping & Gory.

Had me hooked all the way. Pretty gory in places, but a great storyline. Very well read also.
