I liked it

This book does a great job of creating the tension of what might happen in a smaller town, if a girl looking for her father ends up mysteriously dead and how it all blows up when the mother comes and then accuses a man of murdering the girl because he is the father or so she claims. Dani is a mother who lost her child. A tragedy and I feel for how she wants justice for Jessie though it makes for twisty emotions because as the reader I was not sure how much of her story was true, especially when you add in Tadhg's side of the story (also suspicious) and how the town reacts to this. There is so much tension and even if this is a slow burn with Dani trying to get her story told and believed. You get people who want to help but also others that just want to create as much chaos as possible. And there are many suspicious actions being done by others being affected by it, and the little glimpses in the past rack up the tension that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what actually happened, both present day and way back 22 years ago with the first meetings of Dani and Tadhg and what were the lies or truths that got stretched. This book does a good job with the story and also shows how past actions affect way more than just the original people which can break relationships, and ruin lives though it is possible to heal, if you have the right people willing to give you a safe space. I liked it! There is a bit of happiness after Jessie's death and you do find out what happened (though I did not expect that!) Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for giving me a chance to travel to Blarney and experience this story!
