Murder at Roaringwater is the inside story of a young Frenchwoman, Sophie Toscan du Plantier. In this notorious and unresolved Irish crime, the victim seemed to have a premonition of her own terrible end.“Foster’s research is unrivalled and his descriptions of the vast, desolate countryside in which Sophie was murdered are hauntingly beautiful. In the course of his investigation [Foster] comes across two testimonies from witnesses that leave him with pertinent questions that badly need to be answered… As the relevance of this information dawns on Foster, it makes for an unputdownable race to a breathtaking finale.Murder at Roaringwater is a fascinating read and, for me, the definitive account of this case.” – Linda Maher, Daily Mail“A shocking true tale… a well-written book” – RTÉ“Intriguing yet desperately sorrowful… considerate and compassionate. I felt as though I was in the middle of the investigation with every aspect over the years since the murder covered, and the last chapter sent an icy shiver down my spine. Perfect for true crime fans, Murder at Roaringwater is a compelling and riveting story of a truly dreadful crime.” – Liz Robinson, LoveReading“A genuine cracker of a read on a hugely significant story – highly recommended” – Phil Mac Giolla BháinThis case features in two documentaries currently available on Netflix and Sky Crime.For six years, Nick Foster has been piecing together the life and death of Sophie, who was brutally killed outside her cottage in the remote West Cork countryside in 1996. He also developed an ongoing ‘friendship’ with the Englishman long-suspected of her murder, Ian Bailey, and his partner, Jules Thomas, the couple at the centre of the case.This story is as fascinating as it is tragic. Foster takes the reader to Paris and Ireland during his investigation into the circumstances surrounding Sophie’s murder, his quest to reveal her killer and his efforts to understand what the motive could have been for such a terrible crime.
