My review for the book as whole is posted in the third installment. I was provided an ARC of the complete version by the publisher and Edelweiss for review purposes.

I'm not sure what the parts referred to in the above summary are; possibly because I bought the copy I read in the US. And several times I found myself checking the date of its publication, so much did the writing appear to fall below the standard set in other books by McGilloway I have read. Lucy's character seemed to have been assembled from several clichés and none were that compelling.

I really enjoy this writer's storytelling. He keeps the characters real and the plot moving along at a good pace. The only thing I don't care for. Is that arson plays a significant role in all three of the books I've read thus far.maybe, however, this is a colloquialism for Irish tales.

Brilliant! I couldn't put this book down. I just kept turning the pages needing to know who done it! Really well written and I loved the characters. Action from page one and it went on throughout the book with twist after turn. Be prepared to sit up all night trying to finish it!

So far so good
Waiting for part 3. An interesting way to present the book. Although it does prevent a rather complicated story to be overwhelming.

I really enjoyed reading this story as much as the first Lucy Black story. It is a good little mystery that keeps you interested. It is a hard book to put down.
