About this listen

In June 2017, a woman picnicking in the Wicklow Mountains stumbled upon something in a ditch that would set in motion a chain of events that horrified the nation. It was the first of 15 dismembered body parts belonging to retired hospital worker Patricia O’Connor.

Kieran Greene, the father of three of Patricia’s grandchildren, later handed himself in, confessing to beating her to death in the home they shared in what he said was an act of self-defence. He also confessed to dismembering her and disposing of her remains but later changed his story, implicating several members of Patricia’s household, including her husband and daughter.

In this nuanced and meticulous account of a deeply disturbing crime, award-winning journalist and Courts Correspondent for Newstalk and Today FM Frank Greaney uncovers the story behind the gruesome murder of Patricia O’Connor and looks at who Patricia really was through exclusive follow-up interviews with other members of her family.

I would definitely recommend listening to this book. The extent of the thorough and wide ranging research shines through at every turn which is a testament to the author. Non-sensationalist, honest, and balanced, this book provides a definitive and comprehensive narrative surrounding this case. My thoughts are with Patricia’s friends and family, may she rest in peace.

Excellent, well researched book
