Review: Hurley Gets Better With Each Novel
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 05 18, 2014
I am a detective novel fan, and have read several of Pat Hurley's prior novels, and enjoyed this one most of all.  It begins more subtly, no gunshots, no over dramatization, but begins with the basic premise of the novel:  How and why did the subject of the book, the housewife, disappear?  That remains the primary intrigue throughout, though plenty of other subplots are interwoven in typical Hurley style and there are many suspects--including the housewife herself--to consider as the culprit in the disappearance.  A spoiler: This is the only Gallagher mystery in which Mick the Leprechaun does not play a prominent role in Gallagher's solving of the crime.
