Description

'Intriguing rural noir with echoes of Tana French and Donal Ryan' Catherine Kirwan

'A compulsive read from a truly gifted writer' Andrew Rosenheim

When city dweller Sarah finds herself back in the quiet midlands town of her youth, old friendships resurface,
along with memories she'd rather forget.

For Crookedwood is a town of things unspoken, of secrets past and present.

One evening, she faces a terrifying encounter in the woods near her home, with a man and his vicious dog.
As she tries to piece together what she stumbled upon in the days that follow, it starts to feel that no one,
including gardaí, is taking her seriously. Is she being gaslit, or losing her grip on reality?

Because years ago, in the same woods, something happened that changed the course of her life, something
she's never been able to speak of. And now, it's all she can think about.

Crookedwood is a compulsive thriller about buried trauma, small-town vendettas and how sometimes, in order to survive, you have to return to the dark place where it all began.

Sarah returns to her home town to help her mother sell the farm. Sarah is having an affair with a married man in the same town, who has applied for a large planning permission for an estate. This is causing disruption in the town. Frightening things happen to Sarah, and she wonders if it is connected to her past. Something dangerous is going on.
Brilliant book, vivid descriptions of the landscape, great mystery. Lots of twists and a great wow at the end! Loved it!
