review 1: Enjoyed this police procedural set in London(there are maybe one or two coincidences too many, but ...) It's unusual in that the main character is a (female) constable rather than a higher ranking officer, which gives a different aspect to the problems-at-work theme. Some interesting side comments on Irishness (the children brought up by Irish parents in London not to speak the language wish they could, while the Irish cousins in Ireland who can are keen to shake it off - very familiar!) Exciting story. fast-paced, didn't guess some of the twists (at least one is a bit dependent on an improbable coincidence) but definitely enjoyed it and glad that Maeve has seen sense regarding her own private life.
review 2: This is a good book. I like the main characters and ... morethere is a change of gears in the plot about half way through that keeps the story from getting stale. On the negative side, anyone who reads my reviews knows I don't like first person. In this book it keeps what is probably the most exciting episode in the book from reaching its full potential because neither of the narrators are directly involved. less
