Some of This is True

A gripping, twist-filled story of secrets, deception and suspicion from the bestselling author of Somebody Knows and There’s Something I Have to Tell You.

On an icy morning in January, a body is discovered at the bottom of the Wishing Steps at Blarney Castle, seemingly the tragic death by falling of a young tourist.

Jessie DeMarco had travelled to the Cork village in search of the father she’d never known, bringing only a name and general location of his whereabouts. When her bereft mother Dani arrives from America to identify Jessie’s body, she brings with her a story of this man’s past that will soon lead to shocking accusations – and fervent denials.

Convinced that her daughter’s death was not accidental, Dani sets about uncovering evidence, as the local community begins to take sides. But who to believe – the highly respected man they have known all their lives, or a devastated mother with nothing to lose?
