This book helped me to understand a little more of the war in Northern Island and those involved.

I had thoroughly enjoyed Empire of Pain and decided to pick this up as a result. Keefe is a superb storyteller, and does a fantastic job capturing the tenor of the Troubles, interweaving stories from the time into the long running mystery of murder.

A must-read!

Very hard to put this book down. The way everything comes together with the characters is great. This would be a good fictional story, the FACT that it all really happened makes it even more surreal and draws you in even more.

Gripping writing and storytelling. Deeply researched , enlightening to someone who was only minimally aware of the Troubles Page turner I couldn’t put down.

Everything in this book is old news, nothing but facts strung together. What was the point?

I expected this to be more of a mystery from cold case files. Although somewhat interesting, it wasn’t as expected. If you have particular interest in subject matter, do read

This non fiction reads like a novel. It makes sense of a time I understood only from the evening news of my childhood. I highly recommend

I most read fiction and memoirs, but this book took me in. Equally fascinating and horrifying. I learned a lot. Highly recommend.

Excellent but painful history of the “troubles” in N. Ireland. If we could only talk to each other, listen and have compassion!
