Description
From top-ten Irish bestselling author Jo Spain comes the second novel in the Inspector Tom Reynolds series
Shortlisted for the 2015 Richard and Judy Search for a Bestseller Competition
‘Absolutely my comfort reading . . . the investigative team members are interesting and well-drawn’ - Ann Cleeves
‘Jo Spain's vivid thriller explores the dark secrets from Ireland's past that continue to haunt Irish society today’ Martin Sixsmith, author of Philomena
Ryan Finnegan, a high-ranking government official, is brutally slain in Leinster House, the seat of the Irish parliament. Detective Inspector Tom Reynolds and his team are called in to uncover the truth behind the murder. As the suspects start to rack up, Tom must untangle a web of corruption, sordid secrets and sinister lies.
At first, all the evidence hints at a politically motivated crime, until a surprise discovery takes the investigation in a dramatically different direction. Suddenly the motive for murder has got a lot more personal . . . but who benefits the most from Ryan's death?
Advance Praise
‘Spain's vivid thriller explores the dark secrets of Ireland's past that are a real-life situation haunting so many people within Irish society today’ - Irish Country Living
‘Fiendishly clever . . . and a big fat twist is lobbed into the ending like a hand grenade’ - Irish Sunday Independent
‘Brilliant! Fast paced, well researched and sensitive. Jo Spain is a sparking new talent’ - Irish Examiner
‘An uncomfortable read that delves into [a] country's dark secrets’ - Irish Independent
‘In a very strong year for Irish crime-fiction debuts, Jo Spain's With Our Blessing is among the most assured . . . The story is rooted in decades-old cruelty and abuse, but despite the vivid brutality with which Spain opens the novel the tale as a whole is a rather genteel affair, an old-fashioned harking back to Agatha Christie . . . The apparently cosy tone is only skin deep, however: With Our Blessing picks at the scabs of recent Irish history to reveal raw and gaping wounds’ - Declan Burke, Irish Times
