'So much more than a crime novel. I loved it. Beautiful. The humanity shines through. A stunning dive into Ireland's dark past.' Chris Hammer, author of Legacy

'Taut, atmospheric and deeply human, Milligan masterfully weaves tension, truth and place into every page.' Brigid Delaney, author of The Seeker and the Sage

'The chaos and fervour of an Irish homecoming, a town dense with secrets, and a seemingly unsolvable crime - Shellybanks has it all. I was captivated at first by the prose; I could hear the singing, I could feel the cold press of the Dublin fog. But it's the characters who ultimately carry the novel, and Kate Delaney is particularly unforgettable. After just two books she feels like an old friend, I just want to head to the pub with her, order a double Jameson, and solve the world's problems. I love this series and Louise Milligan has proven once again that she is the real deal.' J.P. Pomare, author of 17 Years Later
