I received this ebook free to read and review.Although there is a good story the style of writing did not allow me to get any feel for any of the characters as an example "On the morning of Wednesday, June the 14th 1972 a retired man decided to walk his dog at Seapoint Beach." This style makes me feel an outside observer rather than have an involvement. Incidentally this quote is from chapter 25 which is the first time I found when the story was set, although I had a good idea from prices quoted etc.Although there are a couple of murders it is a slowly developing story with little action and the actual locations in rural Ireland certainly give a feel for the country. Libby the main character has inherited a partnership in the "Moolah" private detective agency but nothing in the story gives any clue that she has any experience as a detective and initially she seems to find a missing dog and people almost by accident, they just turn up.I think there is great potential as the author has written a story with a good plot and I will at least read her next novel.
