About this listen
The top 10 Irish best seller.
Short-listed for the 2015 Richard and Judy Search for a Bestseller Competition.
Discover more DI Tom Reynolds with the next book in the series, Beneath the Surface.
It's true what they say...revenge is sweet.
It's 1975. A baby, minutes old, is forcibly taken from its devastated mother. In 2010, the body of an elderly woman is found in a Dublin public park in the depths of winter.
Detective Inspector Tom Reynolds is working the case. He's convinced the murder is linked to historical events that took place in the notorious Magdalene Laundries. Reynolds and his team follow the trail to an isolated convent in the Irish countryside. But once inside, it becomes disturbingly clear that the killer is amongst them...and is determined to exact further vengeance for the sins of the past.

Grew on me
I wasn't sure about this at the start, particularly the Irish characterisations. However I am glad I persevered because it did improve and in the end was a good all-round listen with an unveiling of a culprit who I hadn't considered. I shall certainly give book 2 in the series a try to see how it evolves.

Brilliant story Brilliantly read
Within just a few minutes I fell in love with this book or more precisely with the narrators voice and accent. But back to the book I really enjoy the characters. The storyline is distressing and I am sure much of it is based on fact I did look into the Magdalene Laundries and its terrible what happened. I really like DI Tom Reynolds unusually for a crime fiction book he isn't an ex drunk or drug user or a depressed detective, he is happily married also unusual for a crime fiction book. In fact all the team are normal this is a breath of fresh air and makes them more realistic.
As for the narrator well she is just wonderful I love the way she changes to different dialects from different counties how well they sound I have no idea as I am English but I love the Southern Irish accent.

A real good listen!
Purchased this on the Daily Deal not expecting too much but it was a great mystery full of twists and turns. I found the history of the Laundries fascinating. Like other listeners, I guessed the culprit about 80% through. Just downloaded the next in the series and cannot wait to start it!

Superb
Excellent story with poignant historical detail, twists and turns. Likeable main characters, fantastic narration. Very sad in places but also some humour. Great descriptive passages which transported and immersed you in to the story.

Decent crime drama
I liked the tragic backdrop of this crime that left me feeling like the 'victims' got what they deserved but it became clear who the culprit was a bit too early for me.
Still looking forward to reading more from this author

Cracking yarn
Very well narrated and written crime drama that I found very hard to stop listening to. Not sure if I actually slept last night. Thoroughly recommended.
