„MARY MARY“

This is not a summary, but just an introduction to the first 100 pages. With this introduction I want to give you access to this fascinating story. “Mary Mary” tells us the story of a woman and her murdered daughter. It’s a psychological thriller full of emotion and pain.

Margaret is a psychiatrist and works in an institution for the criminal insane in New Zealand. She comes back to Dublin just to nurse her dying mother.

Margaret’s daughter Mary is twenty years old. She never got to know her father because he died before her birth. Mary grew up in New Zealand and feels very lonely in this foreign country. She knows only few people in Dublin, the girls from her ballet classes. In the evening she often stays at home and even when she goes out her mother knows that she is a reliable girl.

But one night she doesn’t come home. Margaret, anxious and desperate, reports Mary’s disappearance to the police. For a whole week she lives in terror and pain while Mary is being ill-treated by her kidnapper Jimmy.

Later Mary’s dead body is found by chance near a forest.

The investigation begins and Margaret’s hatred for Mary’s murderer grows from day to day. Margaret brakes down psychologically. She has to fight with pain, hate and love but she knows that the only way to get back her peace of mind, is to find the murderer...

...and she realises that this is not - and can never be allowed to be - the end.
