Not your standard murder mystery, this one. Beautifully written, with complex character development...I felt as though I was a part of each of the main characters in the story. It is very long (791 pp. in the written version, I believe), but well worth the time and effort. It takes a little while to get used to a book which takes place entirely in Ireland being narrated with a British accent (explained in the beginning, though), but the reader is excellent. This book is probably not for everyone...if you're looking for a detective novel in the style of James Patterson or David Baldacci, then look elsewhere. If you're looking for a finely wrought novel with very real people at the center of the story, this might be for you.
