I received a free download of "Killer Friends" from the author, Joanne Clancy in exchange for an honest review. This author has written both contemporary romance novels as well as crime novels. This is a crime mystery novel that has you hooked right from the beginning. I loved it!A triple murder had just been committed in broad daylight in Dublin, Ireland. David Saunders became alarmed when called his only daughter, Kate, but received no answer. Something was wrong. David and his wife Grace decided to drive to Dublin, to find out what was wrong. Kate's moped was parked in the driveway. The front door was unlocked, so he entered. There was blood everywhere.The three victims were all friends living in the house. Adam Kearney, was found lying on the couch in the living room, with a bullet wound through the forehead. Nadine Murphy had been savagely beaten and shot , also in the living room. Kate Saunders, who had been pursuing a degree in fashion degree, was found in the bedroom upstairs lying naked on her back, beaten to death and shot. Who would do such a horrendous thing?Detective Emma Cole and her partner, Detective Peter Mullins were assigned to work the case. There were no witnesses and robbery didn't appear to be the motivation. There was blood, footprints and DNA everywhere. The forensics teams worked diligently preserving the crime scene. Emma initial impressions were that it was a robbery gone wrong, but when they looked closer, nothing valuable had been taken. There were drugs found at the scene, and they thought that drug dealers had committed the murders. Each body required an extensive detailed investigation of its own.But David couldn't rest until Kate's murderer was jailed. His life now was one of anguish and pain. He setup a website to raise money for a reward, and followed the case investigations closely.But Emma wouldn't give up until she could solve the case. This was a fight for justice... and no one wins. The consequences of these senseless murders would haunt the families of the victims forever, and their grief would be everlasting. A well written crime mystery novel that has you hooked right from the beginning.
