Detective Superintentant Peter McGarr is called to solve the case. the author, Bartholomew Gill has created an interesting main character in McGarr and well as a fun group of ancillary characters including his police team and his wife. The plot moved along nicely, however, I found this to be a slower read than most mysteries. Not being a Swift scholar, however, I found the references to him and his works sometimes confusing.
I'd definitely try another mystery by Gill. ( )
