‘Intriguing rural noir with echoes of Tana French and Donal Ryan‘ Catherine Kirwan
‘A compulsive read from a truly gifted writer’ Andrew Rosenheim
When city dweller Sarah finds herself back in the quiet midlands town of her youth, old friendships resurface,
along with memories she’d rather forget.
For Crookedwood is a town of things unspoken, of secrets past and present.
One evening, she faces a terrifying encounter in the woods near her home, with a man and his vicious dog.
As she tries to piece together what she stumbled upon in the days that follow, it starts to feel that no one,
including gardaì, is taking her seriously. Is she being gaslit, or losing her grip on reality?
Because years ago, in the same woods, something happened that changed the course of her life, something
she’s never been able to speak of. And now, it’s all she can think about.
Crookedwood is a compulsive thriller about buried trauma, small-town vendettas and how sometimes, in order to survive, you have to return to the dark place where it all began.
Out of stock
Crookedwood, quiet Irish midlands town, place of secrets, past and present. Sarah left it behind years ago for life in the city, where she’s now a rising star of the Dublin culinary scene. She’s home to help her mother sell the family farm. One evening, while out walking in the nearby woods, Sarah is chased by a man and his vicious dog, narrowly escaping injury. In the days to follow – as painful memories resurface of another dark night in the woods years before – further unsettling events unfold, and Sarah becomes convinced that she is under threat, despite the reassurances of those close to her. What might she have stumbled upon on her walk? Who could be after her, and why? As Sarah closes in on hidden agendas at work in the town, dangerous forces close in on her. It soon becomes clear that, in order to survive, Sarah must return to the dark place where it all began.
