Tahle kniha je plná rozporů a zároveň naprosto přesně odráží a plně splňuje vše, co čtenář od autorových děl očekává. Masterton nezapře kořeny v hororovém žánru, erotice, ani to, že je králem brutalit, jeho knihy rozhodně nejsou pro slabší povahy. Na druhou stranu, i když je většinou zápletka poměrně jednoduchá, píše až neskutečně čtivě a nutí čtenáře otáčet stránku za stránkou. Nemluvě o zakončení jeho obvyklou, chybějící větou, které vás neskutečně láká sáhnout hned po dalším dílu.
Pokud tedy máte odvahu, směle do toho.

Couldn't put this second book in the series down. Definitely as good as White Bones.

A lot of things have happened since. 2014 Was a very hard year for myself so all the reviews are showing up on the same date. I can't explain why they are, if the ratings are justice or accurate I can also not say when I truly read these. I'm just going to say 2014 on the same day added just to keep the year right if not the month...
Do not remember this at all..

This is the second book in the Katie Maguire series. She is a Detective Superintendent working in Cork, Ireland, and she is faced with a series of murders of priests, all of whom have been previously accused of molesting children. She is not just battling to find the perpetrator of the crimes but also the church that seems to be hindering her every step. Looking at all the things that have happened to Katie Maguire and those around her you could easily think of here as a jinx. It's not easy being in her circle.
This is good read and has several shocking turn of events that show the fragility of live.

2.5 stars. The ending was totally unbelievable. Still too much graphic violence and bidimensional characters. And yet, it kept me on edge until the (sadly completely over-the-top) resolution.

Gruesome in parts , but a really good story, very well written- found it hard to put this book down. Think I've found my new favourite author
