Description
The fourth in the crime series featuring forensic psychologist Paula Maguire by Claire McGowan acclaimed as 'Ireland's answer to Ruth Rendell' by Ken Bruen.
Victim: Female. Twenty-two years of age.
Reason for investigation: Missing person.
ID: Alice Morgan. Student. Last seen at a remote religious shrine in Ballyterrin.
Alice Morgan's disappearance raises immediate questions for forensic psychologist Paula Maguire. Alice, the daughter of a life peer in the Home Office, has vanished along with a holy relic - the bones of a saint - and the only trace is the bloodstains on the altar.
With no body to confirm death, the pressure in this high-profile case is all-consuming, and Paula knows that she will have to put her own life, including her imminent marriage, on hold, if they are to find the truth.
A connection to a decades-old murder immediately indicates that all may not be as it seems; as the summer heat rises and tempers fray, can Alice be found or will they learn that those that are hungry for vengeance may be the most savage of all?

What a stunning book! This is the fourth in the Paula Maguire series, and it just gets better!
The disappearance of a 22 year old woman is investigated. Alice Morgan was last seen at a remote religious shrine in Ballyterrin.
The disappearance is immediately suspect, and the pressure in finding her is building daily. She must be found, at all cost.
The book was stunningly written, and very very enthralling.
Such a good read, highly recommended!

have read the other books in this series and this one was another good read. The book is set in Northern Ireland in the present day but there is also a connection to the times of the troubles. A young woman goes missing and although there is blood at the scene where she was last seen none of her friends or family seem to be worried. This is no ordinary disappearance and the police struggle to find out her fate. Thank you for the ARC of this book

I can't begin to describe my love and admiration for the Paula Maguire series. I loved A Savage Hunger and finished it in two days. Paula's tenacity and determination when trying to find lost people is a page turner as is her search for the truth about what happened to her mother all those years ago. A Savage Hunger is definitely in my Top 5 Books of 2016 and Claire McGowan should sure be a household name when it come to crime writing.
