I guessed the motivation for the murders about halfway through the book. This may be because of the historical knowledge that I have, but still, I guessed--and no, it wasn't the first motivation that you think of when you hear the phrase "Catholic priest who taught schoolboys."2. I found it hard to believe that in thirty years, no one had realized what had happened to the perpetrators to make them so angry? Really? No one noticed?3. I found it hard to believe that the priests really believed that what they had done would have supernatural effects. In the Middle Ages, maybe, but in the 1980s?4. The way the murderers were dealt with?--Come on! Really?5. Looking up the author on Fantastic Fiction, I saw that he also writes sex manuals and horror. It certainly shows. There's one passage in the book that reads like a sex manual with its explicit descriptions of who did what to whom, and there are repeated scenes of sadistic torture that made me wonder if a person could really survive such treatment without dying of shock or heart failure.6. The main character is likable and believable and doesn't let anyone stonewall her, but she's caught in a plot that reads like something by an author of sex manuals and horror novels. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gory !! *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2013* 'Broken Angels' is a gripping novel that hooks you up from the first chapter to the last. Again, as with the first novel in the Katie Maguire series, we have several gruesome scenes of  torture and mutilation which require a good empty stomach. At some points I found myself wincing and biting my nails and knuckles.The novel starts with the discovery of a corpse by the river. Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire is immediately called upon the scene. The body is that of a parish priest still in his black soutane. He was the victim of a homicide since he was bound all over with wire and heavily bruised. He had also been castrated. Father Heaney, the victim, was one of a number of priests at the centre of a scandal a few years back involving child abuse.Soon after, a second priest (who was also involved in that scandal), is abducted, tortured, similarly mutilated and murdered. The discovery of his body, puts Katie in a race against time to catch a vicious serial killer who is targeting priests with questionable pasts.The investigation takes Katie to the St.Joseph's Orphanage where horrible abuses on children by priests allegedly took place in the past. For some reason, instead of helping her, the powerful Catholic Diocese leads Katie to a wrong direction. This convinces her that there is more than meets the eye around these murders. What filth is the diocese so desperately trying to hide? If Katie is to solve these murders, she has to find her way through a tangled web of corruption, secrets and transgressions within the diocese.As I was reading 'Broken Angels', I had the feeling that this novel was written by a completely different author than the first one. In fact, I found the text so much more flowing and the reading so much more delightful than 'White Bones'. This could be because the author has written this novel many years after the first one or because when compared to the first novel, the use of Irish slang was reduced to a minimum.I rated this book a strong 4 and not a 5 because once again I felt that the side stories and characters in this novel were left quite flat and needed some more beefing up. On the other hand we learn a lot more about Katie and her family and her tenacious character just makes you love her. All in all, this was a terrific read with a strong plot and I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Tortuous *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2016* Way too much detailed, extremely nasty torture; the basic story goes along well, then pages of horrific ghastly torture, then back to the story.The sex scenes, (obviously) written from a male fantasy viewpoint, in no way represents a logical viewpoint of the female lead character.Here's this tough independent woman, right, so far so good, who barely has time to eat, she's so busy pursuing the mounting murders; yet woo hoo! when she gets it on with Mr. Studly, hmmm... she's had time to get her ladyparts waxed. How would she have time to keep up with that? what with all the long work hours? and furthermore, why would she want to?I notice the author has a whole string of these novels, someone must like 'em. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/22864478-broken-angels-katie-maguire-book-2](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/22864478-broken-angels-katie-maguire-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
