What begins as a gentle story about Maggie, a sixty year old woman living in Donegal with her older brother quickly turns into a very absorbing thriller.
When Maggie's long-lost son turns up on the doorstep, so begins the strange events - prowlers, graffiti, mysterious telephone calls and even murder. Just when you think you've worked it all out, another twist happens and I was left turning the pages increasingly quickly to find out just who was the perpetrator, and why?

I love crime fiction and my name is Mags for short, so when i saw this book i just had to read it, and boy, was i glad i did!
Its a fantastic story, a real page turner and a burner of the midnight oil type of read.
I had to know how it finished so kept reading all thro the night!
Congratulations to Ellen McCarthy for a superbly written, taut thriller which keeps the suspense going right to the end. Keep em coming, i love your writing!

From the moment I started this book I could not put it down. Just when I thought I knew what was coming next a new twist developed. You are thrown on to the rollercoaster of emotions with Maggie and kept in suspense until the very last page. Brilliant - highly recommended, go buy and see who is Guarding Maggie?

From what i thought was going to be a gentle story from the start turned into one of the most enjoyable pageturner this year. A top class book, go buy and it enjoy
