Praise for LADY BETH

ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARDS Prize Winner 2019 | 1st Runner-Up in Crime/Mystery Category<< WINNER! CAP AWARD 2017 (BEST NOVEL) << "A very worthy winner of the C.A.P. Novel Award 2017, LADY BETH by Caroline E Farrell is a thrilling journey into a dangerous world fueled with tension and high stakes. It delivers exceptional characters and terrific prose within a page-turning unrelenting story that digs deep into the underbelly of our capital city." Louise Phillips “The book has something—drive, pace, a feeling for the Dublin city centre drug scene and the welfare class milieu—and particularly a really well-judged scale. The number of players, the speed of the plot and the extent to which they interact with each other have a satisfying correctness to them.” Books Ireland. "Lady Beth is a perfectly paced page-turner of a novel which keeps the tension taut at all times. The darker side of Dublin city is perfectly judged, with well-rounded characters filling out the scenes around the titular Beth. Beth herself is a fantastic character moving seamlessly from unassuming office worker to avenging mother with an impressive lack of melodrama. Caroline has a filmic eye and the book swirls with a wonderful noir atmosphere as Beth digs deep into her past in order to build herself a future." 746 Books "The writing here is sparse, powerful, and the novel's greatest strength. Every page has a memorable line." The Booklife Prize, 2017 Caroline is a writer and filmmaker from Dublin, Ireland.
