About this listen
A woman is found dead in a ditch. As the list of suspects grows, a town’s dirty secrets are revealed.
It’s a cold winter evening, and rain is sweeping in from the Atlantic when a young woman, having braved the weather to visit her sick mother in a remote part of Ireland, comes across an obstacle in the road. She clears the highway of stones from a damaged bridge only to see the body of a woman in a ditch. With no phone reception, she travels to the nearest police station to report what she has found.
The local Garda waste no time in attending the scene of the crime. The woman is clearly dead, but it needs proper forensics to establish if foul play was the cause. In the meantime, is it not possible that the woman driver was in fact the culprit? She is clearly not telling the whole truth.
A game of cat and mouse ensues when the inquiry is upgraded to a murder investigation. The trouble is, when the victim is recognised as a sex worker, there is no shortage of possible suspects. And few of them, if any, are willing to tell the truth to the police. It will take all of Galway detectives Hays and Lyons’ experience to cut through the web of lies and identify the killer in their midst.

Irish small town murder
Straightforward story lines. Evocative of a smaller town and its people. Good narration but, with limited pauses or intonation, it could be tricky to get all the meaning especially if I was doing anything else at the time including driving.

Terrible narration and a poor story line
Thank goodness it's short.
I felt like a child was reading it to me. At least there was an Irish accent. Really fast. Found it easier when I slowed it down a bit. The story really lacked depth and quality.

Poor Quality
The narration was disappointing as the start and end of sentences were cropped by milliseconds making it sound like "Thomas the Tank Engine" as another reviewer stated. This also caused confusion as words like "she" became "he" due to the cropping and I lost interest in the story. It may be better to read this story rather than listen to it.

An enjoyable story, easy to follow.
The story was easy to follow, pleasant characters and an interesting storyline. Nice to listen to a story that isn’t padded out, nor has gory details. I enjoyed it, and will be listening to other work by this author.
