For over a year everyone assumed missing Dublin woman Elaine O'Hara had ended her own life. But after her remains were found gardaí 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 - 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.

'One of the most extraordinary murder trials ever held here' Bryan Dobson, RTÉ

'It is very rare for murder to involve the degree of calculation revealed in this case' Irish Times

When childcare worker Elaine O'Hara went missing in August 2012, everything suggested that she had taken her own life. But 13 months later, in an extraordinary coincidence, her remains were found in the Dublin Mountains at the same time as her keys, phone, inhaler and other personal items were found 20 miles away. Clearly, Elaine had not died by her own hand.

Within days gardaí knew that for some years Elaine had been in a sexual relationship in which she was the 'slave' to an unknown 'master'. In a matter of weeks they identified that master - Graham Dwyer, a married father of three, living in upmarket Foxrock, a partner in a Dublin architecture practice.

While Elaine O'Hara had sought release from mental distress in BDSM sexual relationships, Dwyer was a sadist whose dream was to kill for sexual gratification. When their paths crossed her fate was sealed. He groomed her for years until she walked into his plan to commit the perfect murder.

Almost the Perfect Murder is a detailed account of the extraordinary and exhaustive investigation - one of the most complex and chilling in Irish criminal justice history - through which the gardaí put together the case against Graham Dwyer. It also describes the twists and turns in the dramatic and lengthy court case that led to Dwyer's conviction. It contains startling new material, based on extensive interviews and research conducted especially for the book, including new insights into the 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.
