review 1: I can't believe I read the entire book. It was just so awful. The so called plot didn't even start until half-way through the book. The characters were one dimensional. The lead one was made a Jewish vegetarian for no apparent reason. Maybe it was supposed to be exotic but since I'm from CA., it didn't seem exotic at all. There is no sense of place. It was set in Northern Ireland but could have taken place anywhere. It would have been exactly the same in Baltimore or Perth or where ever. Some reviewers called it funny which surprised me. It was not funny at all. If you want to try a funny mystery try the ones Brad Parks writes but please stay away from this one.
review 2: It wasn't until the last ~50 pages that they actually decided to even tackle the mystery.
... moreIt was like the author ran out of time to really hash out anything difficult or interesting. Plus the ending was TOO obvious, seriously man. I saw that coming after I read the first sentence.It's plusses were that it was really funny and I like funny things but also it was really perceptive but not like overbearingly so, so that was good. less

I love this series. It is the perfect light, entertaining read and always makes me laugh out loud.

Nope, couldn't do it. Too dialogue-heavy - tries too hard. Had to put it back down. Oh well.

Something different. Jewish mobile librarian in Ireland. Whiny chap, but likeable.

Strong main character, delightfully silly plot, but the story sort of fell flat.
