About this ebook
From Ireland's leading crime journalist, Paul Williams, comes the definitive account of the case that gripped the nation.
'A book that had to be written' Ray D'Arcy, RTÉ Radio 1
For over a year, everyone assumed missing Dublin woman Elaine O'Hara had ended her own life. But after her remains were found, the police 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 gardaí to build a case against Dwyer. And it outlines the twists and turns that happened during the dramatic trial that followed.
'An example of doggedness and tenacious police work, which saw that justice was done, and seen to be done' Irish Independent
'Fascinating' Pat Kenny, Newstalk
'It is very rare for murder to involve the degree of calculation revealed in this case' Irish Times

Like a opportunistic parasite, Paul Williams sells his pound of flesh. It’s not like we didn’t get enough from the media.

Very well written. This case created massive attention throughout Ireland. It explains in great detail the trial of Graham Dwyer. I don't agree with the other comments. I for one was happy to read about how justice was done. RIP Elaine xxx
