Who Took Eden Mulligan? by Sharon Dempsey
3.0
Who Took Eden Mulligan? is a mystery novel set against the back drop of Ireland’s political turmoil in Belfast following The Troubles and The Good Friday Agreement.
When a young woman enters a police station and confesses to killing 4 of her friends, police are stumped. At the scene, 5 dolls are hung from a tree and “Who took Eden Mulligan?” is scrawled across a wall in charcoal. The PSNI begin to investigate the link between the murders and the disappearance of Eden, a mother of 5 who vanished during the troubles.
Although the book has excellent prose and the story is intriguing unfortunately the book isn’t paced well and the end of the story is rushed to a conclusion. Some crumbs from the plot are not tied up which was the books biggest downfall for me personally.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for an ARC!
