An absolutely addictive mystery thriller with a brilliant twist

"She shivered, though the kitchen was warm. Icicles of foreboding trickled down her spine. With trembling hands she whipped back her hair at the nape of her neck. As she turned away from the window, she missed the shadow passing by."

One dark winter’s morning, bride-to-be Cara Dunne is found hanging in her home, dressed in her wedding dress, with a lock of hair removed. Detective Lottie Parker is first on the scene. Looking at Cara’s bruised and battered body, she wonders who could have hated her enough to kill her at the happiest time of her life.

The case takes a darker turn that afternoon with another shocking discovery - the broken body of a second young woman, pushed from the roof of the hospital where she worked. Fiona Heffernan was also due to be married, and her body is clad in a wedding dress, a lock of her hair cut off.

The killings seem so personal that Lottie is convinced the girls have been killed by someone they knew. When she goes to break the news to Fiona’s family, she’s on the alert for anything suspicious. But then she makes a discovery that causes her blood to run cold - Fiona’s eight-year-old daughter Lily didn’t return home from her dance recital that afternoon. Terrified that Lily will be the next victim of a twisted and dangerous individual, Lottie takes the case into her own hands, risking her life when she comes face-to-face with the killer....

If you love Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine, you’ll be hooked by this heart-stopping thriller from Patricia Gibney. Broken Souls will keep you guessing!

Why did He do it?

Detective Lottie Parker worked very hard in solving the mystery of the three murders which took place one after the other and it was difficult to know the motive behind the killings.
It changed back to earlier times and then went back to the present day and at times i got a little confused but as I ready on it all made sense to me. Worth a read. A good book to take on holiday and you are able to put it down and it pick up and continue where you left off, no problem, except if you are reading the time the story switches back to earlier dates, then you have to remember where you are. That is my thoughts.

I've enjoyed all of the Detective Lottie Parker stories, and like I said in the headline, I just can't put them down. Talk about hooking you in and you just want to keep on reading 'just another page' and before you know it - it's past midnite, and sleep is calling. Would definitely recommend these books to anyone who enjoys a good crime thriller.

in seemingly separate stories and lives, but the author weaves it all slowly together. Slowly oh so slowly and frustratingly without any clues. Eventually it’s so gripping your teeth will ache. Great read.

Once I got to know the characters the story opened up quickly, becoming intriguing; even mind blowing as successive plots unravelled. So much mystery to be solved! Aptly completed after many red herrings. An enjoyable read.

Hang in there Lottie!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2019

Yup, gutted and in tears. This latest episode of Detective Inspector Lottie Parker and the boys in blue will floor you. I love this series, I have watched each character develop some in leaps and bounds and some fall to the side like Kirby. Now Boyd, I love him and his tenacity as he patiently digs in and waits for Lottie to pull her head out of her proverbial. But this story goes beyond that as Boyd realises that his time is up and takes a step back. Add the powder keg of a missing child, three suspected suicides and her mother Rose interfering again. Is it any wonder that Lottie is eyeing that bottle again.
With thanks to #NetGalley for the preread

Had high hopes but was incredibly disappointed in this series.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2020

I am Irish, I support the incredibly Irish female crime writers coming out of Ireland right now like Liz Nugent and Jo Spain. I had high hopes for this series and I bought all five books so that I had continuity.
To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. I find Lottie to be an underdeveloped and incredibly unlikeable character. I understand that her back story is being widowed but she also appears to be incredibly selfish, leaving her kids to fend for themselves while she goes off and unprofessionally misses clues that are in her face, and treats suspects with a level of unprofessionalism that if it were to happen in real life would be referred to GSOC!! Also why is it one or more of Lottie's kids is always in the thick of it no matter what is happening while she fecks off back to work and thinks that she must check on them but never bothers. I mean in one of the series, her kid finds a body and off she goes back to work barely gives him a second thought. In the one I'm reading right now her daughter is self harming, there is blood on the floor, she's behaving very out of character but her Mother ignores it all and once again puts dealing with her kids on the back burner. In another there is a woman who is elderly and described as being forgetful, - alluding to a presentation of Alzheimers yet Lottie shouts at her as she "digs her nails into her palms" (she does this often!)to give the phone back. In real life who let alone a senior investigating officer would treat an elderly person this way when it has been explained that she has Alzheimers. At all times Lottie appears to be missing something - maturity, empathy and cop on being among some of them.
As for Lottie's approach to police procedure - she walks all over crime scenes doing what she likes, rarely follows a chain of command I mean her attitude is that she will do whatever she wants and who cares about procedures, chain of evidence etc. Crime scene contamination is the order of the day.
I will keep reading as I have bought these books but oh my goodness Lottie and her attitude stinks and border on contempt. If police behaved like her in real life not only would they be under review but all of their cases would too for contamination of evidence.
Sadly just not good in my opinion.

Two women murdered wearing wedding dresses, then a missing child! Hooked until the end!

Another winner by the amazing Patricia Gibney! I adore Lottie & love how her story continues to unravel. Patricia keeps it realistic & dark at times. Always lots of twists in the books. Life isn't always easy - certainly not for Lottie. Her family life continues to be dysfunctional as she juggles home, work and personal life. I so want Lottie to have her happy ever after! And next book? More Rose please!

Lottie’s life is spiralling out of control and maybe too is the authors. This book was all over the place with far to many twists. I long for a bit more control in the narrative having a story that’s so convoluted leaves me losing patience long before the end, the home life for Lottie is dire with an Mother that won’t listen to her, and three kids that whine about the amount of hours their mother works when she is the only wage earner! And now Boyd has got leukaemia,

Really Gripping Storyline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have read all the Lottie Parker books to date and thoroughly enjoyed them all. However, this was the best by far and I cannot wait for the next one to be published. I really like hearing all about her misfit family and her love for her sergeant Boyd. This book held me spellbound until the last sentence and it was an effort at times to put it down. I didn’t guess the murderer until it was confirmed who it was and it was a really gripping storyline. Excellent book.

As a huge fan of Lottie Parker I couldn’t wait to read this next instalment. I was certainly not disappointed as this familiar character dealt with a perplexing and increasingly horrific series of crimes. Her family life is interspersed and adds to the drama in this roller coaster read that gripped me from the start. Terrific and concludes with an ending that I didn’t expect in more ways than one. Can’t wait for the next one.

Fast paced thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2019

This is the 7th installment with Detective Lottie Parker and Mark Boyd. It starts 6 weeks after the last book and I have to say it was another page turner. The characters have grown through the books and have become very likeable. The murder and kidnapping are familiar to the scene, it's the stories around them that make these books special. I love this detective duo and can not wait for the next book. Thank you Netgalley for my advanced copy.

I have enjoyed all these books. Lottie Parker is a complex character and not easy to work with I am sure! The stories are not easy to second guess or predict and, what I like best in a who done it, the descriptions of the crime are not overly graphic whilst being gripping.
I think they really need reading in sequence to understand the ongoing story.

Read all the Lottie Parker books to date and considering that they have come out in a short space of time the standard remains high.
Great balance between keeping a good pace with the story and with the characters and their trials and tribulations.
Can't do anything else but recommend. Especially if you have read the other books in the series

These books make you want to read them. They are mysterious, exciting with twists and turns and unexpected events both happy and sad.

A bit too hidden

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a D.I. Lottie Parker mystery. The plot is a bit too vague for my liking. The characters are all true to life. The impression of Ragmullin, the town of the action (and what a town it's getting to be with all those deaths in so short a space of time), is a town of a locally vibrant community with a hidden dark side.
