The way Sierra described this book to me, I wasn't sure I wanted to read it...and then the Amazon reviews confirmed that some people found the ending frustrating. Sierra also said, though, that she LOVED the writing style, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did!
I love mysteries, and I love great characters. This novel had both an intriguing mystery and great characters. And Sierra was correct; the writing is absolutely amazing and beautiful and descriptive and funny. It's absolutely astonishing that this is a first novel! Not only are the characters interesting, but the setting, Dublin, is equally fascinating. It made me want to visit...
The relationship between Detective Rob Ryan and his partner Cassie Maddox is full of ups and downs and great dialogue. It's their relationship that moves the story along. I was intrigued by their intimacy and mutual understanding and hoped that it would work out well...
