From Little Stack
When I saw the authors who had given quotes for this book, it instantly went on my list of ones to watch! Released January 2026, Darkrooms is a crime mystery set in Ireland. When two girls went into the Hanging Woods twenty years ago, only one of them returned. Caitlin vowed never to go back there, no matter what, but after the news of her estranged mother's sudden death, she finds herself back in the town where everyone knows each other's business, where the memories resurface.
Described by readers as haunting, chilling and masterful, it’s a debut you won’t want to miss out on!
Two unforgettable women investigate the disappearance of a missing girl in a small Irish town brimming with secrets—in this haunting debut from a new crime writing talent, perfect for fans of Tana French and Flynn Berry.
What secrets lurk in the Hanging Woods?
On the night of the Summer Solstice in 1999, nine-year-old Roisin O'Halloran marched into the Hanging Woods, the mysterious copse that had inspired fear in decades of children in the small Irish town of Bannakilduf. She was never seen again.
Twenty years later, two women are drawn together to discover the truth of what happened to Roisin: Roisin's older sister Deedee, a rookie cop who's barely hanging on to the appearance of keeping it all together, and Roisin's childhood best friend Caitlin, a petty criminal who was the last person to see the young girl before she disappeared, now returned to her hometown after her mother's death.
Reluctantly brought together after decades of mistrust, Caitlin and Deedee must reckon with their shadowy pasts, the monsters that still haunt them, and the role they each may have played in Roisin's disappearance.
With old wounds made fresh, the unresolved events of that summer years ago rise to the surface, and the truth threatens to reshape the small town that would prefer the past remain buried.
The siren of the Hanging Woods rings out once more. After all, nothing can stay hidden forever.
