Silent Night

An absolutely gripping crime thriller

‘A nail-biting chiller that will make your heart race and send shivers up and down your spine. Silent Night is a spellbinding and sensational crime novel that is impossible to put down.’ Bookish Jottings, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘She reached into the pram and placed her hands on the cotton blanket. It was still warm. But her smiling, new baby sister, with her wide blue-grey eyes, was gone...’

Twenty five years later, three bodies are found at a ramshackle cottage in the Irish countryside, and Detective Iris Locke is sick to her stomach. The victims are Anna Crowe and her two young children.

Iris has only recently joined the Limerick Murder Squad. Against her father’s advice, she’s working the narrow lanes and green hills of her childhood. Iris still remembers Anna, who was just a small girl when her baby sister was snatched, never to be seen again. It was the one case Iris’ own father never solved, and Iris can’t help but wonder if the two crimes are connected.

She’ll stop at nothing to find Anna justice, but a fire has destroyed almost all the physical evidence, and Limerick is the same small town she remembers: everybody protects their neighbours, and Iris has been away for too long.

Can Iris unpick the lies beneath the surface of her pretty hometown, and catch the most twisted individual of her career, when reopening the old case means reopening old wounds for her team, the rest of the community, and her own father?

Fans of Patricia Gibney, Angela Marsons and L.J. Ross won’t want to miss this – the first book in a gripping and unputdownable new crime series.

‘I’m thrilled to have met Iris Locke at the very start of her journey.

There is no let-up in the fast pace of this book and it is a proper page-turner in the truest sense ..As we say in Ireland, I didn’t “cop on” until things had already happened and I didn’t see any twists or turns coming until I as already in the depths of it and I really love when that happens. It keeps me engaged. Silent Night gets two thumbs up from me! I’m so happy I got to read it before it hits the shelves’ Girl Meets Book, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
