Critics Review

Deadly Silence is a record of Clodagh’s sister Jacqueline’s attempts to ‘uncover the truth’ about what happened … It is a deeply poignant account of innocent lives lost for no reason and then symbolically lost again by the meaning of the deaths being misunderstood … Deadly Silence is a vital book * Sunday Independent *That it is so utterly compelling, even as she narrates some deeply distressing events, is a testament to her resilience and grace under the most catastrophic circumstances * Irish Times *As riveting as it is heartbreaking … an important read * Irish Independent *
