About this listen

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.

Wow what a hair raiser this is… so many twists & turns & a tad gory to say the least. I must say I didn’t enjoy it. 🚐

Found myself skipping large chunks because of the horrific descriptions of the murders. Over the top. Wish I hadn’t read it. Nightmare stuff.

Stomach churning!

Enjoyed it so much I’ve bought the next book in the series. The storyline was a bit slow in the beginning but soon I couldn’t put the book down.

Not your average crime story.

This was a rollicking tale, a good female main character.
there is some suspension of belief required, and some decisions and thinking that is just not logical or normal in light of the other things going on.
BUT, overall it is full of suspense, fast moving, atmospheric and I was compelled to keep listening.
Good narrator
I skipped the gruesome scenes as they really are excruciating.

gruesome but it kept me hooked

A great read for those who like explicit violence. A little too gut churning for me however I was intrigued as to who would commit such a heinous crime and their reasons for it. I am torn between reading another ( see reviews for next books in series) or letting this be a great stand alone experience.

Gripping

I enjoyed most of this story until about 3/4 of the way through ,then became a bit to far fetched.The narration was easy to listen to.

spolit in parts

Had to fast forward parts of the story but it was engrossing enough to keep going on the other narrative. Not for the squeamish
