Frankie Sheehan’s sister-in-law runs a charity for victims of
justice. She has a new client, Sean Hennessey. He has been in jail
for 17 years for killing his father and mother and attempting to
murder his sister. He says he’s innocent, but Frankie’s not so
sure. Pressured by her sister-in-law to review Sean’s case, Frankie
agrees, but when two more bodies are found in the local church, she
has her hands full.
As the investigation
progresses, more bodies turn up. The juxtaposition of Sean’s
release and the new murders makes Frankie suspicious, but she has to
be careful about drawing conclusions, particularly when a documentary
is being made about him.
This is a very dark
story. The victims are not likable people. It’s difficult to want
to solve the case because of them. However, Frankie and her friends
are people you can relate to. The author has done a good job bringing
out their individual traits. Frankie does an admirable job connecting
the clues and providing a satisfactory ending. Her problem is being a
bit over zealous in profiling the killer.
If you enjoy
mysteries where the detective follows the clues to a successful
resolution, you’ll enjoy this book.
I received this book
from Penguin Random House for this review.
