Deadly Evidence

A gripping, page-turning crime thriller from Ireland's former state pathologist

By: Marie Cassidy

Narrated by: Lucia McAnespie

COLD CASES. HOT LEADS. AND A KILLER STILL WATCHING . . .

STATE PATHOLOGIST TERRY O'BRIEN IS ABOUT TO TAKE ON HER TOUGHEST ROLE YET.

Tasked with leading the Open Case Review Unit, her usual post-mortem work has been extended to cold-case investigation into unsolved suspicious deaths.

When a garda detective is murdered, his body mutilated and dumped on gangland ground, she is called in. As a large-scale investigation takes shape to hunt down the killers, Terry's post-mortem uncovers uncomfortable evidence.

She soon finds herself up against the powers that be. But, as new evidence emerges from her cold-case work that impacts closer to home, this may be the least of her worries. Can the identity of her sister Jenny's killer, all those years ago, be revealed? And are some truths best left buried?©2025 Marie Cassidy

Critic reviews

Cassidy deftly plots a dark and twisty thriller ... full of fascinating insider insight

A fast-paced police procedural

Deadly Evidence is compelling and very enjoyable

Terry is a strong addition to ranks of Irish crime fiction's sleuths

Forensics and Flirting.

Quick moving story. Presents well as an audiobook. Kept my attention. I liked learning more about forensics but also the hallmark esque flirting between characters going on in the background. Well written. Looking forward to another novel in this series.
