Nohoval, Co. Cork isn't the immediate place which
springs to mind as being the fertile ground for a crime
author's base of operations, however Amy Cronin surely
has done so. This talented writer has just secured a
three-book deal with leading publisher Poolbeg, and
her first title is 'Blinding Lies'. What a cracking novel
to launch a reader into the world of Anna Clarke, a
young woman whose work brings her into contact with
the dark underbelly of the Irish crime world. You'll be
holding your breath as you follow Anna through the
shocking discovery of a murder, the search for the
unexpected suspect, and a deeper mystery which holds
unknown secrets to come. The weaving of the com-
plex threads come together to create a rich plot driven
book, full of great characters and superb details. Amy's
inclusion in the Spike Island Literary Festival presents a
rare opportunity to meet this busy author and listen to
her speak about this fantastic new book, and no doubt
you might gain some insights into the next instalment
of the series. 'Blinding Lies' is a book you've got to add
to your reading list.
