About this deal

Netgalley Reviewer, FIVE STARS'A fabulous mix of thrills, mystery, psychological mind twists and a clever, thick plot . If the home life wasn't stirred up enough there are two dead bodies both disguised as suicides and both dressed in wedding dresses.

The killings seem so personal that Lottie is convinced the girls have been killed by someone they knew.Initially I found it hard to concentrate on as the narrative switches between several characters who have little discernible relevance but many of the links soon become clear and I quickly settled in.

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Ms Gibney talks about both mental and physical health and the lengths people will go to to keep them secret from family, friends and colleagues rather than ask for help. I am now writing the second novel in the series, featuring Lottie Parker and a host of credible characters. I feel like shaking the detective sometimes when she can be so self-involved and impulsive but I always want her to come through. Después de encontrar un hombre ahorcao en el lago, aparecen los cuepos de dos mujeres, de una profesora y una enfermera concretamente, vestidas de novia .

All in all, good police procedural with an interesting enough plot and great improvement after the last two books in the series. I think what did me in was the- not so much bad, but maybe wishy-washy chemistry between the two characters. The family are moving on but poor old Ragmullin is once again under the grips of a broken soul who is wreaking havoc. Honeysuckle Weeks is charming and loyal, with some nice touches of subtle humour as ever, and Anthony Howell is wonderful.

Patricia Gibney is a talented author, and I am determined to make time for at least one of her books every month until I have managed to work through the entire series.I'm no stranger to DI Lottie Parker and have been a fan of the Irish crime series since the beginning. It's so good to see Patricia Gibney back in form, with Irish DI Lottie Parker investigating a series of murders and a missing child without any of her own family being abducted or threatened (goodness knows, they've suffered enough in the past! When the girls want to go to NYC for Christmas, she tries to guilt them by bursting into tears with the old, "I've failed as a mother" thing.
