The Woman at No. 13 by C. K. Williams (HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter)

Dr. Kate O'Leary works as local GP in a small and deeply religious community in Northern Ireland. She has a respect of the villagers, until a murdered young woman is found and all the traces lead to Kate. After the arrest, she calls her friend Jannis for help.

As it seems, an official verdict can mean nothing if people seek for revenge and have their own sense of justice.

Can Kate and Jannis stay alive and find a real killer?

Tense, dark and twisty novel. Full of issues of civil rights, gender equality, women's rights etc.

Good read.

3/5
