A 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.

BkClubCare Oh dear, I am already crying. Do I need to read this for a time I need a good cry?!😭 1w

monalyisha @BkClubCare Ohh, no. It didn‘t feel like a cleansing cry. Do the opposite: read it when you‘re feeling strong! 1w

The 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.

sarahbarnes I read The Hunter and The Searcher and might have to check this series out now. 4w

I finished the last book and the pollen onslaught drove me back inside so I‘m diving back into this one.

This 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.

A cute cozy set in Dublin that kept me guessing throughout! Not sure if I will continue with the series but I enjoyed it very much! #cbbc

It's a really good, cozy mystery set in Dublin. The narrator was fantastic.
Megan moved to Ireland and is currently a driver in private car service when one of her clients dies at her friend's restaurant. Of course, she sets out to find out who killed her 💚
