pickThis was just beautiful and I finished it in 3 evenings after work. Her writing it just so incredibly good. Sorry, I'm exhausted and others are so much better at eloquent reviews. Just read this!

pickA two-sentence review said, “It‘s gorgeously written. I wish I hadn‘t read it.” I don‘t know if I can improve upon that! Except, I don‘t really wish I‘d skipped it.
The story is devastatingly predictable. I don‘t mean that the book is disappointing, just that the repeated patterns in our past & in our present are. The story is not unique. The characters are alive — until they‘re not (& too soon). I can‘t believe it didn‘t end in the springtime.
Taking full advantage of this Monday holiday.
pickThe last Dublin murder squad series is a twisty story in which a bit part character takes centre stage. Antoinette Conway, a woman of colour, is disliked by her colleagues except for her partner Steve. When they are allocated the murder of a woman in her flat, their boss has an older DS babysit them who appears to steer them off course. Is it Antoinettes's paranoia, or is the case set up for her fall? Great storytelling in a great series.
I finished the last book and the pollen onslaught drove me back inside so I‘m diving back into this one.
pickOver the decades several young women in Ireland go missing. When remains are discovered, and another young woman is kidnapped, it‘s a matter of time until her body is found unless she can be quickly found. NY detective Maggie D‘arcy whose cousin disappeared 23 years ago in Dublin is notified the unique scarf her cousin was wearing is found, she heads to Ireland. The mysterious circumstances span the ocean. How many killers are there? 4.25/5
so-soThis was a depressing - though well written - slice of life story. It's about a married woman who starts an affair and how things develop from there. Set in Ireland with the 2007/8 financial crisis as a background.
