Book synopsis

"One of the most extraordinary murder trials ever held here." (Bryan Dobson, RTE). "It is very rare for murder to involve the degree of calculation revealed in this case." (Irish Times). For over a year everyone assumed missing Dublin woman Elaine O'Hara had ended her own life. But after her remains were found gardai discovered that Elaine was in thrall to a man who had spent years grooming her to let him kill her. That man was Graham Dwyer, a married father of three and partner in a Dublin architecture practice. Almost the Perfect Murder details the exhaustive investigation - one of the most complex and chilling in Irish criminal justice history - that allowed gardai to build a case against Dwyer. And it outlines the twists and turns - both in the courtroom and behind the scenes - during the dramatic trial that followed. Almost the Perfect Murder contains startling new material based on extensive research conducted especially for the book. This includes fresh insights into the garda investigation and background information on Graham Dwyer. This is the definitive account of the case that gripped the nation by Ireland's leading crime journalist, Paul Williams. "An example of doggedness and tenacious police work, which saw that justice was done, and seen to be done." (Irish Independent).
