when i first started this book it took me some time to get into it, but after a few pages i decided to continue and hope i could get hold of the story line, and im so glad i did..i really enjoyed the mystery, the murders,and the general family life of a huge irish family and to add to surprise me even more i discovered that the book i bought was actually 4 books all together which again i thoroughly enjoyed..there is another 4 books to this series which i will read next.. It's not a bad book, by any means, but it's not the greatest I've read either. I'm enjoying the series, I read it on the Kindle feature on my phone before bed nearly every night.I like the characters and I like the plot. However, I'm getting a wee bit tired of the same sexual references that seem high school-ish, and the comments about the wiggling of eyebrows. There's just too much of that, in my opinion.But, as I said, I'm enjoying the series and look forward to finding out all the little mysteries in the end.
