An entire family was found dead in a rural community on 29 August 2016. For Jacqueline Connolly, the news headlines that day and for weeks afterwards were a life-shattering tragedy. Her sister Clodagh and nephews Liam, Niall and Ryan, had been killed by someone supposed to cherish and protect them—husband and father, Alan Hawe.
Deadly Silence is the story of a sister’s struggle to find truth and justice, and her inspirational account of healing from brutal loss and trauma.
It seems incredible that she has been able to write this harrowing, heart-rending memoir. That it is so utterly compelling… is a testament to her resilience and grace under the most catastrophic circumstances ― Irish Times, John Walshe
Often reading this kind of book can seem ghoulish…Deadly Silence is nothing like that. It is a deeply poignant account of lives lost…Deadly Silence is a vital book that demands to be read…Sunday Independent, Eilis O’Hanlon
