Publisher's Summary

One cold spring morning in County Cork, two fishermen find a bundle of rags floating in the Blackwater River. It is the mutilated corpse of a retired music teacher. His hands and feet are bound, and his neck bears the mark of a garrotting wire. The Garda want to wrap this case up before the press get hold of it. But when a second man is found murdered, the body bearing all the same marks as the first, it looks like the hallmark of a serial killer....

Good murder mystery

Enjoyed the characters and the storytelling. Found the sexual parts a little gratuitous but that's just personal taste. Overall its a well told story and keeps you guessing.

Unnecessarily graphic and needs a trigger warning

This book needs a trigger warning. The detailing of molestation are unnecessary and revolting. There was absolutely no need for it, even though it was several instances throughout the book and not all the way through. Some of the interactions with the adults read like soft porn, so not for me. I like a good mystery and like having personal stories throughout but the detail just takes too long and it's boring as hell.

Masterful Masterson

I have enjoyed this author for many years, and listening to his work is a fun way to pass the time.

Persevered, wish I hadn’t.

Unnecessarily lengthy descriptions of violence and gore attempted to save a seriously slow and shallow plot. Quality not high.
