She has been shortlisted for the Irish Journalist of the Year Awards, and more recently the Headline Media writing awards. Her debut novel Breaking was shortlisted for the CWA John Creasey Dagger Awards and has been optioned for television. Her second book, The Returned, also optioned, was described by crime queen Lisa Jewell as ‘hauntingly beautiful’ and was named crime novel of the month by Crime Lovers UK. Amanda is a frequent contributor to national radio, print and television and holds a BA in European Studies from Trinity College Dublin. When she’s not on a plane, you’ll find her in her cottage in Dublin where she lives with her family. Amanda’s third novel, The Perfect Place was published in August Gill Perdue is the author of bestselling crime novel If I Tell (previously published as The Interview) and nominated for Crime Novel of the Year in the An Post Book Awards 2022. If I Tell is the first in the Shaw and Darmody series of crime thrillers published by Penguin, set in the fictional Dublin suburb of Clonchapel. In June 2023 When They See Me was published and received excellent reviews – described as ‘a thrilling read,’ (The Independent) and ‘an impressive follow up.’ (Belfast Telegraph.) She also writes for children. Her first children’s novel, Adam’s Starling, won a Bisto Award (the Eilís Dillon Memorial) for that year. A primary school teacher by training, Gill worked for many years in Tallaght and other schools in south Dublin, and this experience informed and inspired her earliest writings, as did her work on a children’s helpline. She is drawn to the exploration of the domestic, reflecting the real experiences of living in a world where the best and worst of what it means to be human exist side by side. The next Shaw and Darmody is to be published by Penguin in 2025, and a standalone thriller in 2026. Gill lives in Rathfarnham with Kevin and Angus (one of these is a dog). They have two adult daughters. A pair of disapproving feline siblings complete the picture.

Very good, finally went to the top floor to dry a pint of beer and not even a peanut. It was worse than a previous Boston brewery tour to enter the workshop.

The most worthwhile attraction in Dublin, there are three worthwhile attractions: the first is the Book of Kells, which is the national treasure of Ireland, but you must listen to the audio guide, otherwise you will not understand the preciousness of this scripture; the second is the library gallery, which is the filming location of the Harry Potter movie, and it is also very quaint and unique; the third is the oldest harp in Ireland. In general, the tour is very exciting, the small disadvantage is that the price of Ctrip is slightly more expensive than the local ticket price, and the cost performance is not very high.

Dublin Castle has a long royal history and the attractions are worth visiting. The ticket price is only 8 euros (6 euros for those over 60 years old). However, the ticket price on Ctrip for those over 60 years old is 160 yuan, which is 3 times the price on site. It is too expensive!!! It has affected my high trust and good impression of Ctrip!!!

This Catholic church in Dublin has a long history and is a landmark building in Dublin. Both the inside and the outside are very exquisitely built.

Ireland belongs to the temperate marine climate zone, so the vegetation coverage rate is very high. This green color, from south to north, from east to west, covers the island country, clear and transparent like emerald. The green of Ireland is fascinating, but the weather in Ireland is very depressing. When I came here, everyone said a joke that it rains 300 days out of 365 days in Ireland. One of my colleagues once talked about the weather in Ireland with a taxi driver. The driver said that God gave Ireland such a beautiful coat, and if he gave it good weather, it would be envied by the world.
