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.

3.0

It was well told but all the cases blended together. Which is sad because each woman was a unique life. I also was disappointed by the lack of notes or bibliography. Didn't help lend credibility to this author.
