TWISTED RIVER
TWISTED RIVER is a gripping page-turner set in Manhattan and Limerick, as a dream holiday house swap goes horribly wrong. It's a novel with a great premise, compelling relationships, and growing suspense as an ordinary domestic situation takes a very dark turn.
Limerick, Ireland: the driveway of the O'Brian family home. American Oscar Harvey opens the boot of the car his hosts have loaned him and finds in it the body of a woman . From this shocking beginning the story spools back to the roots of the house swap, which no one suspects will end in tragedy.
Kate and Mannix O'Brian live with their two children in a quirky house overlooking the Curragower Falls on the Shannon River in Limerick a city where the haves and have-nots live cheek by jowl. On the other side of the ocean, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the Harveys own a fashionable brownstone on Riverside Drive.
Kate and Mannix are coping in post-boom Ireland just. Mannix has returned to work after a spell of unemployment, and they are struggling to pay off their debts. Their young son, Fergus, who has mild intellectual difficulties, is being badly bullied at school. His older sister Izzy is protective and worried too. But Mannix is the most worried of them all but about more than just what's happening on the domestic front.
When Kate spots the Harvey's home on a holiday house swap site, and finds that Oscar and Hazel Harvey are keen to visit Hazel's native Limerick, she can't believe her luck. A holiday in New York is just what King Kong-obsessed Fergus needs, she has saved up a secret nest egg, enough for this budget break, and the time away will do them all good. Little does she know what this decision will set in motion for the family she will do anything to protect
A gripping debut psychological thriller for fans of THE SILENT WIFE and THE WICKED GIRLS.
Siobhan MacDonald was born in Cork in the Republic of Ireland. She studied in Galway, and worked as a technical writer in Scotland for ten years, then in France, before returning to Ireland. She now lives in Limerick with her husband and two sons.
