A group of six inseparable teenage friends hang out together in a small town in Ireland in 2003. But when Kala - the lynchpin of the group - goes missing, the friendships unravel. Fifteen years later two of the group, Helen and Joe independently return to the town and a little while later human remains are discovered on a nearby building site. There was lots to enjoy in this: the characterisation, the dialogue, the writing. It's described as a literary thriller and that's correct, but maybe that's its downfall. Not quite pacey enough for a true thriller, but such a high body count (past and present day) to make it a little too unbelievable to be fully literary. But I'd be really interested to read anything else that Wash writes.
