About this listen

‘I know I has special needs. So does Stanley and Francis and Billy and Josh. People don’t listen to us, ’cause they thinks we’re thick in our heads.’

Charlie works at St Patrick’s residential home, where the walls are so thick no one can hear you cry. He’s asking child protection expert Shane Dunphy for help, before someone gets murdered.

Charlie tells him of mistreatment, brutality and random cruelty, and now Maisie, his girlfriend, a resident at the home, has gone missing. When Shane finds out what has happened to Maisie, he knows he’s uncovered a world of trouble.

Shane works his connections and, together with the ingenuity of the care home residents, attempts to subvert and infiltrate the system and bring the guilty to justice.

This is a superb book. I would highly recommend. The authenticity with the author narrating the notes from the margins specifically increased added to the story giving an fascinating insight into old ireland and other similar countries. Just a brilliant book

In this the third book from The Margin Series, the author gives an insightful look into a rather bleak history of how special needs was viewed. The story unearths the dark history surrounding St. Patrick's residential home and the journey of one resident Charlie who shares the abuse and mistreatment he and his beloved Maisie suffered. Another astounding work by Shane which draws the reader in but shows you the way out, to reveal a careful woven story; which ultimately reveals and unveils some of the world's evil. No stone is left unturned and some parts are difficult subject matter but all relevant in delivering the full story. I was especially struck by what Bridget Cleary suffered, at its most basic because of a lack of understanding of someone that's different. Probably my favorite book in the series.

Another astounding work
