About this listen

One cold spring morning in County Cork, two fishermen find a bundle of rags floating in the Blackwater River. It is the bloated body of Father Heaney. His hands and feet are bound, and his neck bears the marks of garrotting wire. Worse still, he has been castrated.

When a second priest is found murdered, his body bruised and beaten and the same savage wound hidden beneath his soutane, Detective Inspector Katie Maguire finds evidence of a sinister cover-up at St Joseph's Orphanage. But the Catholic diocese still wields considerable power here, and the Garda are under pressure to close the case.

Katie has to work alone if she is to catch the killer in time - but first she must shatter a wall of silence that for decades has hidden a terrible secret. A secret that is beyond belief...

Great Read

This is the second book in the series I’ve listened to and I’m very keen to continue. Another grim ride with Katie Maguire. Excellent narration. This is a terrific listen

Unbelievable

This book, so far is one, if not, THE Best, of Graham Masterton, I have listened to.

Incredible Storyline, great Narration, and the interwoven
Twists and Turns, left me on the edge.

NOTE if you are a reader who, easily becomes squeamish, this isn’t the book for you !

Personally, I loved the Book and was sorry when it ended.

Thank you Mr Masterton and Audible 🙏🥰🦋

Great mystery to the end.

Despite the graphic horror descriptions and speculating throughout on whodunit I couldn't put it down.

crime fiction with humour

Excellent follow up to a great first book, but this ine is much funnier. As an Irish Police procedural it's good, but benefits from inventive crimes, good characters and some great one liners.

Disappointing

Would you try another book written by Graham Masterton or narrated by Caroline Lennon?

Caroline Lennon is a fine narrator.

Would you ever listen to anything by Graham Masterton again?

No

Which character – as performed by Caroline Lennon – was your favourite?

Kate's father

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not really

Any additional comments?

Poor character development , especially of a female character. I agree with a previous reviewer, the sex scenes were formulaic - should have read the reviews before I bought it. More like a Dan Brown than a good detective read . No twists, just gratuitous sadism. This one's not for me.
