About this listen
The majestic Inishowen Peninsula shore—home to dangerous and unpredictable currents
A woman's body washes up on a remote beach on the Inishowen Peninsula. Partially clothed, with a strange tattoo on her thigh, she is identified as Marguerite Etienne, a French woman who has been living in the area. Solicitor Ben (Benedicta) O'Keeffe is consumed by guilt: for the second time in her life Ben has failed someone who needed her, with tragic consequences.
When local sergeant Tom Molloy dismisses Marguerite's death as the suicide of a disturbed and lonely woman, Ben cannot let it lie. Ben uncovers Marguerite's strange past as a member of a French doomsday cult, which she escaped twenty years previously, but not without leaving her baby daughter behind. Disturbed by what appears to be chilling local indifference to Marguerite's death, Ben pieces together the last few weeks of the French woman's life in Inishowen.
What she discovers causes her to question the fragile nature of her own position in the area, and she finds herself crossing boundaries—both personal and professional—to unearth local secrets long buried.

Good story, poorly veiled dislike of larger people
I’ve listened to two audiobooks by this author so far and I’ve found that I’ve enjoyed the stories and the narration is very good.
However, the one thing I’m unable to get past is the way the author describes larger people. Every chance she gets she’s reminding the listener that certain characters are heavier - the bookshop owner is the prime example of this. Comments about how her outfits make her look like “a giant piece of fruit”, every time she performs any action she’s noted to be breathing heavily, chairs and ladders are “straining” under her “immense” size. It’s not just that one character either, but any character who is described to be larger. It takes away from the story and comes across as if these characters are caricatures of people, rather than fully fleshed out characters. It gets old pretty fast, I find myself rolling my eyes a lot.
