This is one of the funniest books I've ever read - honest. It's a mystery set in war torn Ireland and I know that does not sound funny. You'll just have to trust me on this one.
A very entertaiing read. The novel combines suspense and murder with romance and comedy. The local colour makes it a great summer read. Miller is a reporter banished by his editor for a drinking indescretion to the small Northern Irish town of Crossmaheart. There he encounters a disappearance and murder as well as a woman with a very troubled past. Like all Bateman's novels, this is worth reading.
Good book, even though it made me want to commit suicide.
