How can you find someone who doesn’t want to be found?

When Detective Garda Sergeant Mike West is called to investigate a murder in a Dublin graveyard, suspicion immediately falls on a local woman, Edel Johnson, whose husband disappeared some months before. But then she disappears.

Evidence leads West to a small village in Cornwall, but when he checks in to an Inn, he finds Edel has arrived before him. Her explanation seems to make sense but as West begins to think his suspicions of her are unfounded, she disappears again.

Is she guilty? West, fighting an unsuitable attraction, doesn’t want to believe it. But the case against her is growing. Back in Dublin, his team uncover evidence of blackmail and illegal drugs involving Edel’s missing husband. When another man is murdered, she, once again, comes under suspicion.

Finally, the case is untangled, but is it the outcome West really wants?

No Simple Death is a murder mystery with a touch of romance, set in the Dublin suburbs. It will appeal to fans of authors such as Peter James, LJ Ross and Ruth Rendall.

Well plotted, with plenty of exciting twists, it was a real pager…

Gripping Irish crime thriller This, the first in a new crime thriller series by one of my favourite writers, had me entranced. Keogh, from Dublin herself, has painted a realistic portrait of what it’s like to make the wrong choices and ultimately to pay for that mistake. Ebel, almost dying inside, and not looking too great on the outside, is still reeling from the disappearance of her beloved husband when she stumbles on a body in the church graveyard around the corner. She’s soon on a journey, which shifts the story to the…
