2000s: Case four for DCS Frankie Sheehan and the Dublin police
If Looks Could Kill
What you need to know before your trail
DCS Frankie Sheehan is experiencing a crisis of confidence – having become wary of the instincts that have led her face-to-face with a twisted killer and brought those she loves into direct jeopardy.
She is summoned to the rural Wicklow mountains, where local mother of two, Debbie Nugent, has been reported missing. A bloody crime scene is discovered at Debbie’s home, yet no body. Not only is foul play suspected, but Debbie’s daughter, Margot, has been living with the scene for three days.
Aware her team cannot convict Margot on appearances alone, Sheehan launches a full investigation into Debbie Nugent’s life. And, before long, the discrepancies within Debbie’s disappearance suggest that some families are built on dangerous deceptions, with ultimately murderous consequences.
Travel Guide
Travel around Dublin and County Wicklow
The city of Dublin comes across loud and well in this novel. It’s one of a series of police procedurals set in the Irish city by this author and it’s a visit to the parks, streets and Garda stations. There is something going on and the police have a lot on their hands.
Olivia has made Dublin her own. There is a sense of the meanness, bleakness and darkness of this city, never mind the danger.
County Wicklow
The police are summoned to the stunning mountains and the local, remote Garda to investigate a case. There is some lovely scenery out here which makes for a nice contrast to the Dublin chaos. However, pretty settings do not equal pretty sights when there’s murder around.
