Victoria Guerin, a young crime reporter with the "Sunday Independent", was shot dead in Dublin in June 1996 as a direct consequence of her work - investigating the shadowy figures of Dublin's underworld. This is an account of one of the biggest and most shocking of Irish news stories.

I had expected this to be written as a narrative account of a heroic young reporter etc etc. It turned out to be an analysis of her character, her past (pretty dodgy) and the mistakes - both hers and others' - that led to her death. A good read but not exactly gripping.

RELEASE NOTES:

At the February meetup. I can see that I'll never get around to reading this.

Picked up at last night's meetup. I enjoyed the movie when I finally prepared myself to watch it, so I'm looking forward to reading this.

I just couldn't get into this even though it's only a short book. I tried 3 times with no luck. I guess Veronica came across as too much of a pain-in-the-arse. Life's too short so I'll move on now.

RELEASE NOTES:

For the OBCZ once it gets going.
