Book Information
First in a gripping new thriller series featuring investigative journalist Oonagh O'Neil. Perfect for fans of Broadhurch.
TV journalist and media darling Oonagh O’Neil can sense a sinister coverup from the moment an elderly priest dies on the altar of his Glasgow church. Especially as his death comes as she is about to expose the shocking truth behind the closure of a Magdalene Institution. The Church has already tried to suppress what happened to decades of forgotten women. Is someone also covering their tracks?
DI Alec Davies is appointed to investigate the priest's death. He and Oonagh go way back. But what secrets lie behind the derelict Institution's doors? What sparked the infamous three-day riot that closed it? And what happened to the girls that survived the institution and vowed to stay friends forever?
From Ireland to Scotland.
From life to death.

My Review
4☆ A Gripping Read
The Lost Children is a story about the Magdalene Children and the connections between the Church and the vulnerable young girls forced into the laundry rooms.
I have read and seen the films about the Magdalene Children and the abuse and torture the young girls suffered at the hands of the Nuns and church.
This story was a little different.
Journalist Oonagh O’Neil was working on uncovering the truth behind the Institutions.
When Father Kennedy died suddenly questions were raised as to what his involvement was with the Institutions.
The story is written in two timelines. Present day and then the stories of the young girls in the past.
I preferred reading about the stories of the young girls. It was raw and heartbreaking and very real. The stories drew me in and I felt there pain.
I was eagerly flipping through pages to see what would happen next.
The present timeline stories seemed a little disjointed at times and it seemed to skip around the storylines.
I didn't particularly like Oonagh she came across as spoilt and a little self obsessed.
Father Tom Findlay is Father Kennedy's stand in. But there is something not quiet right about him. Was he involved in Kennedy's death as it was suspicious?
He has secrets.
I did really enjoy this book I just thought the past stories strengthened the plot so much.
It was gripping, thrilling, exciting, lots of secrets and lies to uncover.
