DISTURBING, FASCINATING LISTENING,
This review is from: Field of Blood (Audio CD)
Those who remember "Deception" or "Garnethill" by the amazing Scottish author Denise Mina know that they're in for an unrelenting look at the bleakness of life as well as telling insights into the hearts and minds of her characters. Mina's genre is crime fiction - yes, but with a difference. Heather O'Neill also makes an enormous difference for listeners as she gives authentic, unvarnished voice to the story of young Paddy Meehan who wants to climb the ladder, but at what cost? O'Neill's voice performance makes a moving, suspenseful story even more stunning. Paddy is employed at the Scottish Daily News as a copygirl. Of course, she hopes to get ahead, to be a reporter of note. It would seem that her opportunity arrives with the shocking killing of an innocent three-year-old, Brian Wilcox. That story is not only a heartbreaker but a headline grabber as well. As luck or fate would have it, one of the young boys suspected of the killing is a cousin of her fiancé. She asks for his help in interviewing the boy only to open a surprising Pandora's box which may bring great harm to herself, her family, and the boy himself. She's made some quick decisions in her quest for success. How far should she go? "Field of Blood" is a disturbing, fascinating listen - don't miss it. - Gail Cooke |
