An exciting book which intertwined a murder mystery with themes of domestic abuse and violence. Throughout reading this book i learnt more about how abuse in relationships is not always in a physical sense. More and more i picked up on little things said to the main character in the book keelin, and realised how horrible and manipulative they were as well as being plain gas lighting. On top of this there was some relatability as I was able to make connections between some of the abusive things said to keelin into relationships i have seen in real life. Overall this is an easy read that highlights the close knit society that is rural Ireland! Also: this book reminded me of the Sophie Toscan Du Plantier murder, maybe due to the “closeness” of the two murder sights geographically. The downfall to this book is I feel as though i never receive a true sense for who keelin is despite it mainly being written from her point of view, I can’t quite gauge her. I also would have loved a point of view from Alex but oh well!
