This was a real 'can't put down thriller' which had me gripped from start to finish, in fact I ended up staying up way later than I should have to read the final 50 pages and find out exactly what happened at the denouement of the story.
Alison has done her best to escape her past, a devastating series of murders during her first year at university which culminated in her boyfriend being arrested as a serial killer. Ten years later and Will Hurley 'the Canal Killer' is behind bars but young girls have started dying in the same way. Is it a copycat or has the wrong man been convicted? Will has information but the only person he will share it with is Alison.
This is a well written, fast paced book which takes you right into the heart of Dublin student life, albeit at a fictional university. Ali is a compelling character and I cared very much that her story was resolved one way or another, it's hard not to see the magnetism that her and Will's relationship once had and the power of the guilt and sorrow Alison feels which draws her back.
The mixture of the thrilling aspect (which can have elements of 'really, would that happen?' at times) and the emotional journey into her past which Alison embarks on made for a book I just couldn't put down. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
