Book Review: Hurt by Brian McGilloway

“Hurt” is the second novel in the DS Lucy Black series by McGilloway and it is just as brilliant and gripping as the first one “Little Girl Lost”

The story begins in late December when a sixteen-year-old is found dead on the train tracks and DS Lucy Black is called to identify the body and is part of the investigation team to find out what exactly happened to the young girl.

Using the girl’s mobile phone to try and get clues to her death, Black and her colleagues stumble upon information on her social medical account which shows that this was no accidental death and something bigger is in play. And it looks like they are right when another girl goes missing.

Running alongside the main story is the story of Lucy herself and her struggles with the past which keep haunting her, as well as her relationships with her parents.


McGilloway’s writing just grabs you into the story and makes you as the reader feel part of it. And he leaves you wanting more from the story.
