Jenny was quite right (bwl 84) the cover blurb is spot on. A deceptively easy read which takes you back through personal accounts of the bleak events leading to three gruesome murders. It seems each character has in some way been condemned by their poverty- stricken rural existence or is there something more which leads young Roddy to commit such horrible acts? A tragic and captivating story where you keep hoping some good will come to pass.
