Dervla McTiernan earned my first 4 star rating of 2023 with this well written, intriguing crime thriller. Complex characters, corruption, secrets...this book does touch on many triggering subjects such as sexual assault, child abuse, murder, suicide, pregnancy loss--read with cautions. 

Overall a provoking read.
