Had I been a 30 something with children, I probably would‘ve loved this. As it was, I couldn‘t relate to any of the characters, missed any humour, and was mostly relieved to finish (which I did only because it was an arc from NetGalley).

Where She Lies is an impressive police procedural novel set in Galway, Ireland, by a first time author, featuring a damaged alcoholic detective with an odd name tracking a serial killer. Yes, you‘ve read it all before, but the points of difference are the small town Irish rather than British or American setting, and the evocative writing.

My full review is on Amazon and Goodreads.
