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.

Great Irish accent and good voice but the story was read like a secondary school book report. The writing was uneven although the story itself was reasonably good

Good idea, poor execution

The story was interesting so I stuck with it, but the narration was really poor. It was so monotone! There weren't even pauses between character dialog. A school teacher reading aloud would be better.

Narration made it difficult to finish

This was surprisingly so hard to listen to, the narration was just awful so much so I thought it may have been AI generated but nope real person. So little emotion or inflection through out the whole book.
The story would have been much more interesting had it been done with more personality. By conclusion I have no idea who did or didnt do what.

could have been good but....

narration needs help, slow, doesn't follow presumed punctuation, natural accent.. nice voice but... interesting characters.. I would try again but needs improvement

decent little story

The narrator was terrible and the story even worse I do not recommend this book at all.. waste of time

Good thing it was free

I totally agree with the other reviewer that the narration and writing style is reminiscent of Thomas the Tank Engine or a children's story. It's a bit over the top and doesn't fit with the subject matter of the story.

Meh
