On the day of Henry and Keelin Kinsella's wild party at their big house a violent storm engulfed the island of Inisrun, cutting it off from the mainland. When morning broke Nessa Crowley's lifeless body lay in the garden, her last breath silenced by the music and the thunder.
The killer couldn't have escaped Inisrun, but no-one was charged with the murder. The mystery that surrounded the death of Nessa remained hidden. But the islanders knew who to blame for the crime that changed them forever.
The book is written very well, the plot is intriguing and will keep the reader guessing. It is clear that the lead character Keelin carries her own guilt, along with a fragile mind and an overbearing, overprotective husband, a reclusive son and a daughter who can't stand her.
This book is an excellent starting point.Full of suspense. I' s so interesting how it all turn up in the end.Great writing and connectable characters an altogether promising read.
Ten years ago Nessa Crowley one of the ‘Crowley Girls’ died at Keelins birthday party which tears the small island community apart with the blame firmly fixed on Henry.Keelin and Henry Kinsella, their daughter Evie and Keelin’s son Alex seem to have it all. They’re rich, have a fabulous house on the island but it’s all an illusion.
This novel is full of suspense and tension, with a fantastic past and present plot interwoven with interviews between the documentary team and the island's residents.
This is a fantastic story of control set in a really interesting world of money and power in rural economically deprived Ireland. Got hooked up right from the start.
