| This is an extremely well-written book that takes place in 1950s Dublin and also in the suburbs of Boston. It begins with a death, an attempt to change the file on the deceased, and a dogged pathologist who just can't seem to "let sleeping dogs lie". There are no real villains in this book, only some people who do questionable things out of the best of intentions. The action slowly but surely builds up, and you keep turning the pages to find out what's going to happen next. I downgraded this book to 4 stars because I thought the main protagonist was a bit too morose, and he went around as if he, and only he, were under a continuous rain cloud. This is supposed to be the first book in a new series, and I will definitely be reading the next one, and the one after that, etc.. |
