Eliza Carmody has to return to her hometown of Kinsale when she is assigned a legal case concerning a fire that a company is accused of starting. She tries to keep a low profile so that the people don't know that she's there for the company's sake. However, when she arrives in town she is a witness to an attack and she recognizes the man in question that attacks. This is just the beginning of an eventful stay. Many years ago, her best friend disappeared and now they have discovered bones at a historical homestead. What really happened that night Grace disappeared? It seems that now the truth may finally come out...

SECOND SIGHT is an Australian whodunnit book with lots of suspects. The story shifts from present time to the past when Eliza was young and we get to see several people's POV of what happened that night Grace disappeared. It's not easy to figure who is guilty or not in this tale with everyone either having, or seeming to have, secrets in their closets. This is the first book I've read by Aoife Clifford and I definitely want to read more books by her. I found I really liked the story's construction, with several people's POV telling their side of the story of the past event. It's like each person gives a piece of a puzzle. I have to admit that so many people acted so guilty that the only real way to figure out who was innocent was when the person ended up dead...
