In this episode of British Murders, I welcome Northern Irish writer and lecturer Claire McGowan to the show to discuss Ireland's mysterious Vanishing Triangle cases.
In 1990s Ireland, eight women were abducted and presumed murdered. They vanished without a trace, and no one was ever charged.
Bestselling crime author Claire McGowan was determined to find out why. In her book on the case, Claire delivers a righteous polemic against the culture of secrecy, victim-blaming and shame that left those women's bodies unfound, their fates unknown, and their assailants unpunished.
Claire grew up in a small village in Northern Ireland and now lives in London. She writes crime fiction as Claire McGowan and contemporary women's fiction as Eva Woods.
Her latest book 'The Vanishing Triangle: The Murdered Women Ireland Forgot', released on May 1, 2022, is available to purchase here:
