Twenty-five years ago, on Halloween night, eight-year-old Kelly Doherty went missing while out trick or treating with friends.
Her body was found three days later, floating face down, on the banks of the Creggan Reservoir by two of her young classmates.
It was a crime that rocked Derry to the core. Journalist Ingrid Devlin is investigating - but someone doesn't want her to know the truth. As she digs further, Ingrid starts to realise that the Doherty family are not as they seem. But will she expose what really happened that night before it's too late?

I've read and enjoyed other books by the author and was really looking forward to Ask No Questions. The blub made it sound like something right up my street. I also liked the fact the book is set in Derry; I've never visited Ireland but there's something really appealing about it. I've enjoyed other books set there. Ask No Questions ticks all of the boxes of a good thriller; fast pace, twists, turns, misdirection and a great atmosphere. As Ingrid revisits the terrible crime for an anniversary piece, she discovers that old wounds are far from healed and locals are riled up again as the man convicted of the murder has been released from prison and claiming he was set up. Someone wants the story to die and is the truth worth the possible costs? This is a great thriller.
