Strange Sally Diamond

Liz Nugent is right up there with John Connolly and Mark Billingham when it comes to crafting a dark yet engaging tale.
Strange Sally Diamond is possibly the most disturbing book I've read this year. It's themes include kidnapping, paedophilia, rape, brainwashing.
Sally Diamond may be strange, and it's not surprising given her troubled past, but she is a survivor.
It's not too difficult to imagine something like this happening in the Ireland of the 80's, given all the scandals that have been uncovered in the last few decades.
This is definitely not a book for the faint hearted.
