'Gripping, smart, suspenseful' EDEL COFFEY
'I could not put the book down' AMY JORDAN
In a village of secrets, is anyone truly innocent?
'A page-turner' IRISH INDEPENDENT
On a frosty morning, a young tourist is found dead at the bottom of the Wishing Steps at Blarney Castle. A tragic fall, the locals say. But when Dani DeMarco arrives from America to identify her daughter Jessie's body, she's convinced the truth is more sinister.
Jessie had travelled to the village to find the father she never knew, a man who's now a pillar of the local community. But the story of his past, which Dani quickly exposes, soon ignites a storm of outrage, denial and fear.
The local community begins to take sides, but who to believe - the man they have known all their lives, or a devastated mother with nothing to lose? As loyalties shift and tensions rise, one question haunts them all: did Jessie slip ... or was she silenced?

Praise for this book
"Michelle McDonagh just gets better and better. Blackly funny and acutely observant, she digs behind the veneer of suburban Irish society to reveal the darkness that can find its way into any ordinary life. An insightful portrayal of Irish communities and the secrets they keep, with characters you will love. I couldn't stop turning the pages. I love how she unpicks families and marriages until nothing is as it seems. Gripping, smart and suspenseful, this is a compelling story that packs a big punch." - Edel Coffey
