A pure delight, featuring a lively crew of memorable characters, action aplenty and stunning scenery * Irish Independent *
A moving - and exciting - well-observed account of crime, innocence, gullibility, and a determination to get things right ... the ideal novel to read curled up in front of a good fire while storms rage outside * Book Oxygen *
