- Book Synopsis
- NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025, AN POST IRISH BOOK AWARDS 'Vital' Sunday Independent 'Compelling' Irish Times 'Riveting' Irish Independent 'Chilling' Irish Mail on Sunday 'Every woman in Ireland needs to read Deadly Silence' The Sunday Times The heart-breaking account of a search for the truth behind the brutal killings that shocked a nation. Jacqueline Connolly's world was shattered when she learned that her sister Clodagh and three young nephews - Liam, Niall and Ryan - had been killed by Alan Hawe in August 2016. Thus began a heart-breaking journey to piece together the circumstances leading up to these tragic events. Here she tells that story, revealing the coercive control and manipulation that shaped her sister's final years, the profound failures in the initial garda investigation, and the shocking findings from the Garda Serious Crime Review, which starkly exposed the terrible darkness of a cold-blooded murder-suicide planned for a year in advance. Deadly Silence is a powerful account that challenges our understanding of domestic violence and family annihilators, a testament to sisterly love, and a deeply inspiring personal journey of healing from severe trauma and loss.
