Description
Belfast, Northern Ireland: early spring 2017. Retired Chief Inspector Patrick Mullan is found brutally murdered in his bed. Detective Sergeant Ryan McBride and his partner Detective Sergeant Billy Lamont are called to his desolate country home to investigate. In their inquiry, they discover a man whose career with the Police Service of Northern Ireland was overshadowed by violence and corruption. Is the killer someone from Mullan’s past, or his present?
And who hated the man enough to kill him twice?
Ryan and Billy once again face a complex investigation with wit and intelligence, all set in Belfast and the richly atmospheric countryside around it.

Advance Praise
“Woollcott goes from strength to strength in this stunning sequel to her debut, A Nice Place to Die. DS Ryan McBride is a sympathetic protagonist, grappling with thorny personal and ethical issues as he and his colleague, DS Billy Lamont, investigate the brutal murder of Retired Chief Inspector Patrick Mullan in modern-day Belfast, Northern Ireland. Blood Relations is a complex novel with a powerful sense of place, peopled by a cast of three-dimensional supporting characters who drive the plot inexorably forward to a surprising and satisfying conclusion.”
—Marcia Talley, Agatha and Anthony award-winning author of Disco Dead and eighteen previous Hannah Ives mysteries
“Make sure you have time available to read Joyce Woollcott’s latest book, Blood Relations, because once you start reading you will not want to put it down. There is the perfect mix of a compelling plot, excellent characterization, and the right sprinkling of wit and humour. Highly recommended.”
––Maureen Jennings, author of Murdoch Mysteries
“With a wonderfully complex cast of characters, a strong sense of place, and a plot that reveals itself piece by satisfying piece, J. Woollcott's Blood Relations is a terrific second outing for her all-too-human detective, DS Ryan McBride. Here's hoping McBride has a nice long career!”
––Sarah Stewart Taylor, author of the Maggie D'arcy series.
