Naill, a bored postal worker, decides to rummage through the dead letter bin one day and finds the diary of Fiona Walsh. By now everyone has heard the tale of the Walsh sisters -- Fiona and Roisin Walsh had been found dead with their Aunt the elusive Moira Hegarty inside Moira's home. No one quite knows why, but then again, that is makes for a good story.
Told in diary form and through the travels and inquisitiveness of Naill, you learn the story of the Walsh sisters, and how they were taken in by a mesmerizing stranger named "darling" Jim Quick who traveled through Irish towns telling his tale and capturing quite a few hearts. But Jim in not just a storyteller, he is a lying, thieving murderer. So, why are whole towns enraptured by him and choose not to see the devastation that he leaves in his wake.
Through their diaries, Fiona and Roisin are able to tell their stories of how they ended up hostages to their crazy aunt, how Jim is not who he appears to be, and how they will risk it all to save just one of them.
Woven through this creepy story is another story that Jim tellsof wolves and princes and a princess that is just as fascinating if not more so when you get to the end and see what Jim has really been saying.
Billed as a modern gothic novel of suspense -- this story is amazing from start to finish; with a little bit of everything for everyone. Not told in your typical diary format, you are completely enraptured by the story of each girls life.
