Great read. Harrowing subject of Mother and Baby Homes which needs much more attention in Ireland.
The case was great and how it unfolded was great with constant guessing who it could possibly be as we learn more. The big reveal was a shock for me! But not such a shock you couldn’t believe it.
The characters felt so realistic and I can see them all being in Ireland, it wasn’t stereotypical which some Irish stories especially involving nuns and priests can become but this was very authentic. It had a great manor murder mystery feel to it and was enthralling.
Highly recommend.
Would make an amazing tv series and help raise awareness.
