Also, even as someone who considers myself not easily jarred by fictional violence, there's an element to this story that I found pretty disturbing. I believe many others would feel the same. You may want to check the content warnings before reading.

The pace definitely is a slow to start but speeds up as you go on; the stories within it were crafted so well, with the distinct perspectives from some of the characters. It made me wish we had more character perspectives: I would have liked to read some Kala, Aiden, Aoife (although, I wonder if that was done intentionally, to feel the emptiness/distance).
I also found myself longing to know what happened to the characters once they all went back to their respective lives all over the world.
I the painting of teenage life (and the hint of how this morphs into adulthood) - it was done so well, and the imagery of Kinlough too.

The overall theme of the book is pretty dark and there is mentions of alcoholism, rape, incest, and organized crime. Most of these themes are not explored in detail ( except for organized crime), but I still wanted to mention it.
The characters were all very interesting and the location of the book helped make the plot more interesting. If you love dark murder mysterys you will love this book!

Loved the character development and story in general, great slow build. Hoooooowever, while the twists/reveals were good, as the pace picked up towards the very end, I felt the writing style lost its uniqueness and read like your standard crime novel, which isn’t really my thing.
Also something evolved in the tone and portrayal of the girl and women characters to make me become keenly aware that it was written by a man. Something to think on a bit more for me…
Did a mix of audio and physical book and both were really good formats.
Lots of love from the founding president of the Mush fan club xoxo

“The things that make life comfortable are always unacceptable, if you look at them square on. Someone, somewhere, is always suffering so you can be happy. Which is why most people spend their time looking the other direction.”
