"Haunting, fast-paced, and unforgettable."
- Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Guilty Here
"A lush, moody mystery. Darkrooms is gripping and atmospheric, as two women wrestle with guilt and injustice."
- Flynn Berry, New York Times bestselling author of Northern Spy
Two unforgettable women investigate the disappearance of a missing girl in a small Irish town brimming with secrets-in this haunting debut from a new crime writing talent, perfect for fans of Tana French and Flynn Berry.
What secrets lurk in the Hanging Woods?
On the night of the Summer Solstice in 1999, nine-year-old Roisin O'Halloran marched into the Hanging Woods, the mysterious copse that had inspired fear in decades of children in the small Irish town of Bannakilduf. She was never seen again.
Twenty years later, two women are drawn together to discover the truth of what happened to Roisin: Roisin's older sister Deedee, a rookie cop who's barely hanging on to the appearance of keeping it all together, and Roisin's childhood best friend Caitlin, a petty criminal who was the last person to see the young girl before she disappeared, now returned to her hometown after her mother's death.
With old wounds made fresh after decades of mistrust, Caitlin and Deedee must reckon with their shadowy pasts, the monsters that still haunt them, and the role they each may have played in Roisin's disappearance. The secrets of that long-ago summer rise to the surface, and they will expose the truth that many in the small town are desperate to keep buried.
The siren of the Hanging Woods rings out once more. After all, nothing can stay hidden forever.

"Darkrooms is a powerful firecracker of a debut. It's an unflinching and brutal thriller, but a rare, bleeding and cadenced feminist story lurks just beneath. It is, in a single word, astonishing." - Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb
"I adored this simmering, tense novel. Both gripping and propulsive, yet somehow still slow burning and intensely atmospheric, it is as disorientating as a double exposure, with layers of shifting timelines, viewpoints, secrets, memories. Haunting and brilliant." - Emma Van Straaten, author of Creep
"A pitch-black witch's brew of small-town secrets and shadows.
