'So much more than a crime novel', says Chris Hammer!

Read on to hear what our Reading Guide had to say about 'Shellybanks':
From the bestselling author of 'Pheasants Nest'. Kate Delaney returns
in this novel of buried secrets and unimaginable trauma and discovers how the love of family can pull you through to a brighter future. This compelling, haunting tale of secrecy and survival charts how two women find strength in each other as they reckon with Ireland’s hidden histories, and the scars that endure across generations.
