I enjoyed the twists and turns in this book and there was never a dull moment. The Irish terminology was interesting and intriguing, without overwhelming you with unknown terms.

The dual mysteries created a steady climb to a climatic ending. Although I would have loved to have both mysteries wrapped up with a bow at the end, the cliff hanger ending just makes me want to read more of her books.

I wait with great anticipation of Ms. French's next novel.

This was a very well written, engaging, suspenseful novel. The author keeps the reader guessing as she parcels out information that help you put together the whole story. It's a who-done-it with an ending I did not guess. Very enjoyable book!

One of those books you think about when you're not reading it… a difficult to put down, murder mystery with a bit of psychological thrill. A fun read, by a new writer from Ireland.

I felt this was an excellent debut book and deserving of it's award. This author provided a wonderful set of sub texts that was important to the storyline, and yet seperate. I found the relationship between the partners believable and human. The end was not what I had anticipated so,in all, an excellent read and a writer I look forward to following up on.
