À propos de ce titre

How can a dead woman avenge herself on her killer 20 years after her murder?

This is the puzzle facing Ben Devlin in his latest case. He is called to the scene of a murder - a man has been stabbed to death in his rented room and when his identity is discovered Devlin feels a ghost walk over his grave as he knows the name Brooklyn Harris well. As a teenager, Harris beat his then-girlfriend Hannah Row to death, and then spent 12 years in prison for the murder.

As Devlin investigates the dead man's movements since his release, it becomes apparent Harris has been grooming teenage girls online and then arranging to meet them. But his activities have been discovered by others, notably a vigilante, who goes straight to the top of Devlin's list of suspects...until he uncovers that Harris was killed on the anniversary of Hannah's death - just too big a coincidence in Devlin's books. So Hannah's family join the ever-growing list of suspects being interviewed by his team. And then forensics contact Devlin with the astounding news that blood found on Harris's body is a perfect match to that of Hannah Row's. Yet how can this be; the girl was murdered many years ago - and Devlin doesn't believe in ghosts.

Avis de la critique

"A compulsive police procedural, but it's so much more than that: thought-provoking, compassionate and beautifully-written. McGilloway is one of the finest crime-writers working today." (Ann Cleeves)

"Blood Ties is one of those rare gems; a beautifully written crime novel that's also brilliantly paced, skillfully plotted and utterly absorbing. Brian McGilloway is, quite simply, a master of his art. Bravo." (Jo Spain)

"Brian McGilloway's police procedurals are a masterclass in crime fictions." (Andrea Carter)

"A clever, engaging and beautifully crafted police procedural." (Irish Independent)

Brilliant story, far out narrator. But it drags out and turns into a plain "I'm right - no, I'm right" scenario.
Explains why the old problem with the 6 counties will hardly ever stop, but a crime novel is about crime rather than self-righteousness.

I didn't realize this was set during the 1st lockdown. So many mentions of coronavirus social distancing measures. And I wasn't interested in the main character's bleak family story. Definitely won't listen again. But the voice artist was enjoyable.

Slow, boring, bleak
