Summary

Forensic psychologist Paula Maguire returns in Blood Tide, the fifth novel in Claire McGowan's acclaimed series. If you loved Sharon Bolton's Little Black Lies or Elly Griffiths' The Woman in Blue, you will love this new novel from the author acclaimed as "the new Ruth Rendell" by Ken Bruen.

When ravaged by storms, remote Irish islands become inaccessible...and inescapable.

Two scientists inexplicably disappear from remote Bone Island during a vicious storm, and suspicions are quickly raised about foul play. With her own pressing personal issues and the possibility of her mother still being alive at the forefront of her mind, Paula has other concerns but is determined to help. It quickly becomes apparent though that this island has secrets of its own, and despite its idyllic and peaceful guise, its history of loyalties and grudges amongst its small community leads Paula to think a murderer may be at large. But with another storm heading in, will Paula be able to solve the case and leave the island in time? Or will she find herself trapped on an inescapable island with a killer's sights firmly on her?

Blood Tide

Another fantastic book from Claire, Paula seem to be getting near the truth about her mother then it's as far away again. Another gripping book and the first i have listened to on Audible which brought more depth to the characters. I hope we don't have to wait to long before Claire's next book.

Awful narration

The accents and pronunciation were awful. Northern accents on a Kerry island? It made for confusing listening and way the narrator pronounced some words ie ‘provo’?- I think the narrator is Irish so she should know how to do accents and pronounce words we used to hear on the news every single day!? Not my favourite book in this series...
