Some errors in the writing style near the beginning of the book turned me off the author, even though I was enjoying the book itself. However, as the book progressed, she stopped using cheap American colloquialisms in her descriptions, and her frequent mention of a yellow plant fell to the background, so I ended up quite enjoying the story. It consisted of a missing youth, a retired cop from Chicago, and an apparently ‘sweet’ village in Ireland. The characters were quite well developed and I liked the greyness of their moral decisions. It seemed true to life.
