Summary of Claire McGowan's The Vanishing Triangle

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I grew up in Northern Ireland in the nineties, which was a time of turmoil and change. We were afraid of being shot by the soldiers who crouched in the hedgerows as we walked home, and we were afraid of being bombed by the IRA.

#2 The nineties in Ireland were a time of change and struggle. People were trying to prise off the fingers of Church control, and they were struggling with their self-identification as one of the few true Catholic countries left.

#3 There were a few brutal murders in Ireland during my childhood that could be linked to the later disappearances. In 1979, Phyllis Murphy, who was twenty-three, went missing from Newbridge, about thirty miles from Dublin. She was last seen walking to the bus stop wearing jeans and a winter coat, mittens. Her body was found two months later in a forest in Wicklow.

#4 There were several unsolved cases in Ireland in the 1980s and 1990s, including the murders of Antoinette Smith and Jastine Valdez. The cases were all similar, with the bodies of the victims wrapped in plastic bags and dumped in bog land.
