Synopsis

From the time she was born, Emma Byrne was different. Shy and reclusive, her world revolved around animals, so much so that by the time she was 15, Emma was a much sought after horse trainer. So who would try to harm this gifted young woman? Who was shooting in Crilly Woods on that fateful August day? Emma's twin brother, Anthony, is determined to get to the bottom of what happened to his sister, and in the course of his investigations makes a terrible mistake, one that will change all their lives forever.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

A wonderfully realised evocation of a tragedy within a tight-knit Irish rural community in an age where to be different was to be ostracised. Highly recommended. --Irish Independent

In creating a community of apparently ordinary people capable of extraordinary cruelty, Hunt deftly blurs the lines between justice and revenge and propels her tale into the realms of true tragedy. --Irish Times

--Irish Times

'... The Outsider is not the straightforward narrative of taboos broached and justice served we expect from 'cosy' novels. In creating a community of apparently ordinary people capable of extraordinary cruelty, Hunt deftly blurs the lines between justice and revenge and propels her tale into the realms of true tragedy.' --Crime Always Pays 'Told largely through vibrant, colourful dialogue, which lends it a freshness and vitality that is masterful... This is a poweful story and a lively read.' --The Sunday Times'It is a finely honed piece of writing with as many layers as a game of pass the parcel... the reader is submerged in a world of secrets, shadows, misunderstandings and mistakes, darkness and disappointment... The Outsider is a very unusual crime novel which I really enjoyed reading. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a slow-burning psychological narrative with an explosive finale.' --Crime Fiction Lover
