Blurb

She doesn’t trust the police. She used to be one of them.

Hardened by ten years on the murder squad, DNA analyst Doctor Sian Love has seen it all. So when she finds human remains in the basement of her new home, she knows the drill.

Except this time it’s different. This time, it’s personal...

A page-turning cold case investigation, Dead Flowers is an intriguing, multi-layered story perfect for fans of Kate Atkinson’s Case Histories and British crime dramas like Line of Duty and Unforgotten.

Shortlisted for the UEA Crime Fiction Award 2019

Enthralling’ - Kirkus Reviews ‘Monaghan's novel is direct and deceptively simple. In spite of suffering there are surprising touches of humour and tenderness that bloom like flowers on asphalt’ - Times ‘Monaghan's is a powerful, loving, and honest new voice’ - AL Kennedy, author of Paradise and So I Am Glad ‘The pace and claustrophobic atmosphere also serve to make this an almost unbearably tense read at times’ - Daily Mail Also by Nicola MonaghanThe Killing Jar Starfishing The Okinawa Dragon The Night Lingers and other stories The Troll trilogy
