I like that.

You know, I did really, really like that.

Harper, the 13 year old, is sent off to the wilderness for form camp as she thinks the whole town is being watched.

And she's very vocal about her conspiracies.

Louise, the middle child, is secretly corresponding with an online terrorist.

who is encouraging her to build a bomb.

And then Abigail, the 16-year-old, is dating Wes Whelan, who has the nickname War Crime Wes, who is several years older than her and is the bodyguard to Paul Alabaster, who is the local billionaire, but he's also the local baddie as well.

Rumours of corruption abound, but...

The only person who wants to dig deeper into this is Harper, the daughter, and that means trouble for the whole family.

But when someone attacks one person in the Flynn family, what do they do but stick together like any family, isn't it?

Oh, very moving.

In 1995, five years since Brendan and Irene Gogarty lost their son, Carl, the man responsible for the boy's death is about to be released from prison only after serving five years.

He was sentenced to nine, but due to good behaviour, he's out early.

I thought this was a really powerful book, but I found the start very difficult to read.

And I think like even thinking about it now and now I know I was talking to Frank and he said, yes, it gets lighter.

And he he's listening to the radio here.

He hears someone talking about Medjugorje and, you know, they were going through grief and grief.

So he decides he'll go off to Medjugorje on a pilgrimage.

And I've been on pilgrimages, so I kind of know, you know, what happens and the people on it and this sort of thing.

But they're far from what he describes, I think.
