My Thoughts and Review
I enjoyed reading this thriller suspense book with many twists on every page. Six friends Sergeant Cara, Daithi, and Maura - the local primary school teacher- were best friends when they were eight years old. Seamus, Ferdia and Sorcha formed the rest of the gang from those glorious summers. Cara and her friends lived on the Irish island when they had all grown up. The weather was horrible, wild, and harsh as the snow thickens. Cicillian, Cara's late husband who was lost in the sea on new year's eve had his tenth anniversary approaching, therefore they decided to meet at Seamus Flaherty's house, another home on the Island. They were all overjoyed at the idea of celebrating their friendship hugging and demanding each other's attention. Maura was not there. Maura was missing. To Cara Folan's disbelief, confusion, and horror the police reports finding Maura's missing body in thrown from a clifftop in the Serpent's Lair. It was Maura Coonnely's body lying there lifeless. Cara decides to investigate Maura's murder at the Serpent Lair path. Maura was Cara's best friend who had introduced the rest of the gang to Cara. Maura and Seamus were together as a couple. Cara with the help of forensic evidence from Dr, De Barra confirms Maura's killing at the Serpent Lair. Nine hundred people lived here on the Island. Who would have done this awful thing to Maura? This is truly awful. This novel definitely kept my heart pounding till the end. Cara was feeling tearful to see her poor friend on Doctor's bench, half-naked, bruised, and broken. What had they done to her? She was gagged after she was killed. Why on earth she was tossed dead into the Serpent's Liar. Everybody loved Maura. It was very strange anyone would want to hurt Maura.
I just reviewed the book, The Snow Storm by Triona Walsh. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture Publishers for an Advance copy for my honest review.
