I figured out the ending about halfway through and was pretty frustrated that dimwitted Rob, the detective, couldn't get there. At the end he made it seem like an assumption that we were just as tricked as he was. I found myself muttering "Idiot..." every few pages. Cassie, his partner, was perfect in every way and ended up with the short end of the stick a the end. A stick that I wanted to beat Rob over the head with, by the way.
There were two mysteries in this book. One was solved and the other, older mystery was not. Why even put that one in the book?? It's only function was to illustrate how messed up Rob was, and why.
The pace was fast and I liked that. The plot was predictable, but it moved well and that was also very welcome. I got a fresh perspective of modern Ireland - I was sort of stuck in the 1700s with that place. This was a good snack - but it didn't change my life.
