    Vtedy v lese je fascinujúca detektívka – plná akcie, psychologických zápletiek a postáv takých skutočných, že Vám pripadajú ako priatelia. Je tu všetko: tragickí milenci, prípad zmiznutých detí, psychopati, mylné dedukcie, trúfalý, zábavný a nespoľahlivý rozprávač. Príbeh vás zdrapne za golier a s krikom vtiahne do lesa. Na oltári z doby bronzovej, objavenom na posvätnom mieste v Knocknaree, sa nájde mŕtve dieťa. Je to talentovaná balerína, dcéra muža, ktorý vedie kampaň proti diaľnici, naplánovanej cez vzácne archeologické nálezisko. Policajt – rozprávač prežil iné nevyriešené zmiznutie v lete roku 1984, čo lesu dodáva desivo klamlivé čaro. K tomu pristupujú politické ťahanice, posvätná hrdosť detektívnych partnerov, rodina, v ktorej niečo fakt smrdí, čudná partia archeológov a príšerný, strašidelný les.

    V dedinke neďaleko Dublinu sa v ruinách starej kamennej chatrče nájde telo mladej ženy a Cassie vyzerá prakticky ako jej dvojča. Keďže polícia nemá podozrivých ani žiadne stopy, vyhlási, že obeť je zranená, ale žije a Cassie zaujme jej miesto ako študentka Trinity College a spolubývajúca ďalších štyroch študentov. Aj napriek stresu z práce v utajení si Cassie svojich svojráznych, izolovaných spolubývajúcich, rovnako ako nový život v kedysi impozantnom dome obľúbi.Vyšetrovanie oddelenia vrážd neprináša takmer žiadne výsledky a je na Cassie, aby im aspoň naznačila ako ďalej.

Dokonalá podoba má všetko: nezabudnuteľné postavy, svieže dialógy, inteligentné psychologické náhľady, stúpajúce napätie, takmer hmatateľné prostredie a úžasne evokatívnu, maliarsku prózu.

    In Broken Harbour, a ghost estate outside Dublin - half-built, half-inhabited, half-abandoned - two children and their father are dead. The mother is on her way to intensive care. Scorcher Kennedy is given the case because he is the Murder squad's star detective. At first he and his rookie partner, Richie, think this is a simple one: Pat Spain was a casualty of the recession, so he killed his children, tried to kill his wife Jenny, and finished off with himself. But there are too many inexplicable details and the evidence is pointing in two directions at once. Scorcher's personal life is tugging for his attention. Seeing the case on the news has sent his sister Dina off the rails again, and she's resurrecting something that Scorcher thought he had tightly under control: what happened to their family, one summer at Broken Harbour, back when they were children. The neat compartments of his life are breaking down, and the sudden tangle of work and family is putting both at risk . . .

  5. The photo shows a boy who was murdered a year ago. The caption says, "I KNOW WHO KILLED HIM".Detective Stephen Moran has been waiting for his chance to get a foot in the door of Dublin’s Murder Squad—and one morning, sixteen-year-old Holly Mackey brings him this photo. The Secret Place, a board where the girls at St. Kilda’s School can pin up their secrets anonymously, is normally a mishmash of gossip and covert cruelty, but today someone has used it to reignite the stalled investigation into the murder of handsome, popular Chris Harper. Stephen joins forces with the abrasive Detective Antoinette Conway to find out who and why.But everything they discover leads them back to Holly’s close-knit group of friends and their fierce enemies, a rival clique—and to the tangled web of relationships that bound all the girls to Chris Harper. Every step in their direction turns up the pressure. Antoinette Conway is already suspicious of Stephen’s links to the Mackey family. St. Kilda’s will go a long way to keep murder outside their walls. Holly’s father, Detective Frank Mackey, is circling, ready to pounce if any of the new evidence points toward his daughter. And the private underworld of teenage girls can be more mysterious and more dangerous than either of the detectives imagined.The Secret Place is a powerful, haunting exploration of friendship and loyalty, and a gripping addition to the Dublin Murder Squad series.

    Antoinette Conway, the tough, abrasive detective from The Secret Place, is still on the Murder squad, but only just. She's partnered up with Stephen Moran now, and that's going well - but the rest of her working life isn't. Antoinette doesn't play well with others, and there's a vicious running campaign in the squad to get rid of her. She and Stephen pull a case that at first looks like a slam-dunk lovers' tiff, but gradually they realise there's more going on: someone on their own squad is trying to push them towards the obvious solution, away from nagging questions. They have to work out whether this is just an escalation in the drive to get rid of her - or whether there's something deeper and darker going on.
