[Helen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A slow-to-start book with a lot of introspection by Fleming while he meanders through investigating the murder of a man he didn't know. A good share of the text involves James Fleming trying out a new community, a small town artists' colony an hour's drive from Dublin, while he finds himself at something of a personal crossroads. Only when a second murder occurs does the book pick up pace and James' investment become personal. A good book for those who like to get to know a setting but maybe not for those who want more action from the main character.

Pleasant little British mystery.
