Not bad at all, though after a while I wondered why Ben is privy to so many police secrets. In the end, the resolution of the mystery was also strangely anti-climactic -- I was way more interested in Ben and her community than I was in the action going down. I'm not sure what that says about the book, but I did enjoy reading it.

Largely believable characters involved in a mystery that turns out not to be a murder but that's when the pear shape behind the facade of what seemed normal takes over in the community of at Inishowen.

A mystery driven by characterization of the individuals in a small county Donegal hamlet. The author wrote a complex plot with great finesse and handled the backstories without overwhelming the present narrative. Some aspects in the outcome were expected but much of the side-action was a surprise. A great read if you enjoy authors like Ann Cleeves and Kate Ellis.
