I was delighted to be able to write this review of Cobh author Michelle Dunne’s new book for An Cosantóir recently.
Michelle is an Irish Defence Forces and United Nations peacekeeping veteran. I had the absolute pleasure and privilege of being a beta reader for this cracking story.
“While Nobody Is Watching is the third book from Michelle Dunne and the first of her Lindsay Ryan series. This fast-paced thriller has its foundations in a gritty reality, and it deals with some hard subjects exceptionally well. It weaves action and drama into a thriller with a gripping plot.
Drawing strongly on her service in the Defence Forces, and on her overseas experiences with the United Nations peacekeeping forces in Lebanon, Dunne really has created a heroine of great strength and character.
A story with twists and turns makes for a real page-turner. It does what every great thriller does: it leaves you very satisfied but fancying a little more. Be warned, this is no techno-babble weapons manual or flag-waving macho military escapade.
This is the real world, with real people and real problems.
A story where PTSD is the price paid by those who come home, having seen the face of war, and the ultimate price is paid by those who don’t come home at all.“
Make sure you pick up a copy, and like me you’ll be an instant fan of Lindsay Ryan. I cannot wait for the next book in this great series to arrive on the shelves!
