Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Darkest Truth by Catherine Kirwan, read by Eileen Walsh.
Recommended by Graham Norton on The Graham Norton Show
He'll do anything to protect his secrets. She'll stop at nothing to expose the truth.
It only takes one person to break the silence.
When solicitor Finn Fitzpatrick is approached by a man to investigate the death of his daughter, her first instinct is to refuse.
The father is grieving, and unable to accept that his daughter committed suicide. And yet something about the man’s story chimes with Finn.
Why did a bright, confident, beautiful young girl suddenly drop out of school? Could the answer lie in her relationship with Ireland's most famous film director?
The deeper Finn goes into the case, the more dark, twisted and dangerous the picture becomes.
Because these are powerful people she is trying to expose. And they're willing to do anything to keep the truth hidden.
Critic reviews
'Just finished Darkest Truth by Catherine Kirwan. It's brilliant! A heroine flawed but not in the normal whisky-soaked-my-wife-has-left me way - that takes you on an evocative crime journey through the cut-throughs and cobbles of Cork City. A fabulous sleep thief and great read.' OWEN McDONNELL, Killing Eve
'A clever twist on the genre.' ARAMINTA HALL, author of Our Kind of Cruelty
'A gripping, twisting novel of mounting suspense. It couldn't be more relevant.' AMY LLOYD, author of The Innocent Wife

Brilliant!
Captivating storyline, beautifully written with many layers. The narrator did an excellent job of bringing this story to life, now it just needs the right film maker to bring it to the big screen, this would be a great film.

Terrible, no suspense, predictable
Read this as saw it was in Top 10 Irish thrillers - it really isn’t, no suspense , so predictable , poor- not worth it

Narration spoils this
I was so looking forward to listening to this book. The narrator is so boring. She pauses unnecessarily and speaks so slowly, even speeding up the narration doesn't help. The writing is quite poor. Lots of use of the word 'said', 'I said, Ann said' etc. Talented writers would swap that word for questioned, wondered, mused, pondered, challenged etc. I gave up after chapter 8 as my ears were bleeding. I may try reading the print version which will hopefully deserve a higher score.
