DaniS“Totally gripping, reads like a thriller. Made me read deeper into the history of the Troubles. The mini series adaptation is also really good, but read the book first!”

Melinda“The most gripping account of the Troubles. I had so little knowledge of this period in modern history. Absolute page-turner.”

Lucy Propper“Another home run by PRK- also phenomenal as an audio book, and reading this before watching the tv show Derry Girls makes it hit different. I recommend”
