Summary
Sometimes darkness stalks the most beautiful places....
On Doogort East Bog, Achill Island, a body is found. The close community is stunned to learn that it's Lisa Moran, a popular teacher who disappeared two days earlier.
DS Lucy Golden is assigned to the case. For her, it's personal. As an Achill native, she knows that sometimes great evil can lurk in plain sight. Having moved back from Dublin, she has spent the last 10 years trying to prove herself to her colleagues after her husband was jailed for fraud. This is her chance to put the past behind her. Her teenage son Luc's behaviour, however, is increasingly troubling, and Lucy doesn't have time for distractions.
When another body is found in an abandoned property on the bog, with links to a murder 20 years ago, the stakes are raised - but a pattern is emerging. Can Lucy put the pieces together? Or will her family crisis mean the murderer claims his next victim?

"Well plotted and page turning." (Patricia Gibney)
"A tense, fast-paced and deftly plotted thriller, which kept me guessing right to the end. I'm already looking forward to the next outing for Detective Sergeant Lucy Golden and her crew!" (Andrea Carter)

A brilliant listen
I must say I really enjoyed this book I liked all the characters, even the DI wasn't so overbearing like in some books. Some put this book like the Lottie Parker books but this book is far far better, it concentrates on the case and shows how they try to solve the case, yes there is a little bit of home life for Lucy but unlike the Parker books its more about the case and less about her.
Aoife McMahon is a perfect as always as narrator I don't know the different dialects in Ireland but sure Aoife does them well. I am looking forward to more books

Note to self
This had likeable characters and engaging enough tale, although not a storyline that sticks with you.

Who dunnit
Lucy Golden is a single mother, police woman living with her son & her own mother in a small community in Ireland.
She’s involved in a case where a murder has taken place and it’s not obvious who the murderer is, so the many investigations she and her colleagues have to go through are not surprising as it is a small place & everyone seems to know each other. IMO There are at least two hard to believe questions that are asked of victims concerning memory, especially considering the age of the child and length of time passed and the obvious errors Golden makes. But it doesn’t really spoil the story.
I love the various Irish accents, male & female that are used, all by the narrator.
