A River of Bodies Summary

A River of Bodies: The Deeper He Goes, the Darker it Gets ... by Kevin Doyle

'None of us involved in this are safe, do you realise that? I don't feel safe. Since I stepped off the fuckin' plane in Cork last night, I haven't felt safe.'

Noelie Sullivan, disaffected ex-punk and grassroots activist, has every reason to be afraid. His investigation into Danesfort Industrial School and the boys who went missing from it is attracting attention. Special Branch want him to disappear and he's made enemies of the powerful Walsh and Donnelly families.

But Noelie is determined to get to the truth. He won't walk away. At least that's what he tells himself until his friends and family start paying the price.


A River of Bodies is the gripping sequel to To Keep A Bird Singing and the second part of Kevin Doyle's Solidarity Books trilogy.

A River of Bodies Reviews

This is an entertaining and engaging thriller series, but one with real punch and one not afraid to shine a light on real social issues. I'm very much looking forward to the third title in the series and can't recommend these books enough.

-- James Pierson * Adventures in Crime Fiction Land *

'A River of Bodies' ended on a massive cliff-hanger - I cannot wait for book three! This would make a wonderful TV series.

-- Emma * emmazbookblog.wordpress.com *

Noelie, Black Gary, Meabh, Katrina and Martin are trying to find the truth, but it puts them all in danger......will they all survive? And will they get nearer to getting justice for the victims....?

This group of friends are just normal people, not gung ho action figures and this gives such believability to the tale.

This is a dark, edgy and gripping read with an underlying feeling of menace ...and really sets the scene for Book 3......

-- Lesley Budge * A River Of Bodies by Kevin Doyle - Book Review *

This is fiction but it rings true, A River of Bodies chimes with the stuff that is out there because of the real inquiry and court cases. The novel has a very Irish feel; everything from the involvement of the diaspora from the homes to the pitch perfect setting and the religious/political climate that helps with the mood of the novel. This is a heart breaking story and must have involved some dark hours of research but it was worth it. This is a thriller with bite and emotional impact. Sad, tragic and real.

-- Paul Burke * nbmagazine.co.uk *

his really is a fantastic political thriller, written in such a way that you won't be able to stop yourself reading it in one sitting. Noelie is so determined to uncover all the dirty secrets regarding the Donnelly family and their associations with the Catholic church and the security forces.

I'm looking forward to the third book of the trilogy being published and finding out how Noelie and his friends manage to uncover!

-- RelentlesslyPurple * 'A River of Bodies' by Kevin Doyle *

Full of twists and all I can say is the reader needs to hold on.

-- Booker T's Farm * River of Bodies Blog Tour *

A gripping read and I definitely think you should take a look at this series.

Highly recommended.

-- Don Jimmy Reviews * A River of Bodies Review *

Although the pace is slower in this second installment, there is an underlying tension that kept my heart racing throughout. The sense of danger is palpable and the Donnelly's are a family I would not like to cross! Kevin Doyle has written a sequel as impressive as the first and I can't wait to read what I'm sure will be a thrilling conclusion to the Solidarity Books Trilogy.
