The author has a great gift for meaningful dialog and complex psychology. As a result, I enjoyed this book despite the fact that the traumatized protagonist/detective turned out to be a great jerk after he slept with his partner/friend, we never found out what happened to his friends in the woods decades earlier, and the psychopathic girl who arranged for her sister’s murder got off scott free.
The book is brimming with intelligence, but is also frustrating, for the reasons above. Apparently the later books in the series are each about different characters and have better endings, but I have no interest in finding out. The Irish setting was interesting to me, of course.
