This book had a lot of potential and yet it just kept repeating the same facts over and over again and jumping back and forth between victim's stories. Definitely needed a better editor.

This is a ROUGH read, content-wise, and I'm not necessarily someone who is often bothered by darker books. However, McGowan does a good job trying to parse out the possibility of a serial killer in an environment that barely paid attention to violence against women, as well as retroactively realizing that she grew up in this environment without realizing it. The Troubles monopolized all news and police response, and while that is certainly understandable, it's still a tragedy that these women were let down in the process.

Less about the murders in the Vanishing Triangle and more about the murder of women over Ireland and the pondering of the author of the attitude towards domestic violence, and violence on women, from society, police and judges. Little information about the murders in the triangle that you wouldn't already know, but more a long opinion piece on violence towards women in Ireland
