Recenzii

'Fabulous Dublin-based crime. Dark, atmospheric, well-written. Very much in the vein of Tana French'
'An intriguing, compelling and highly entertaining story. Formidably impressive writing!'
'A fabulous closed room mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. This is a gorgeously poetic deep-dive into the pieties and myth-making of Dublin in the early eighties'
'A terrific new gem of Irish noir, written with a light touch but a firm command of character, mannerisms and speech'
'Sombre, psychologically nuanced and compassionate... as gripping as it is disturbing'
'Thrilling... will keep you guessing until the very end'
'This creeps up on you until you're hooked'
'An intriguing and haunting story that will appeal to lovers of the Irish police procedural'
'Infused with depth, darkness and acute psychological drama. Her polished prose comes studded with original imagery and her dialogue crackles. We are propelled towards an explosive denouement which, artfully, doubles as a kind of moral reckoning'
'Set in 1980s Dublin, staunch and stoic Catholic tones measure the pace and impregnate the complexity of A Famished Heart'
