I hadn't read anything by this author before this*. Gosh. Taut, suspenseful and utterly gripping. It's very well written (grammatical errors notwithstanding: apostrophising plurals and a couple of instances where the author got the characters' names wrong), but for that, the characters are well drawn and compelling.
Secrets/lies/deception/the path to truth always make for a good psychological thriller, and Fitzgibbon blends these elements perfectly. (See about the book below.) Set in Limerick, Ireland and London, we have a missing university student with a secret, her mother with a secret, a brother with an unrequited love and a PI who brings it all together…the unrequited love as well!
A tense, psychological thriller you'll find hard to put down. There have to be more 'cases' to be had by Lana, the PI, surely? I do hope so: I would pick them up with relish.
