This book is beautiful and heart-wrenching through its realistic depictions of normal people trying to live their ordinary lives in extremely violent times.

In 1970s' Belfast, a young Catholic school teacher falls in love with a Protestant married man and we see the tragedy of living during the Troubles unfold.

I enjoyed both this one and "Milkman".

There was a very powerful, very vivid description of terrorism in this novel, and there was also some beautiful writing about cities. Despite this, this novel didn't really do much for me. I also could have done without the descriptions of how one character would constantly abuse his cat. Was this supposed to be funny? Because it's not. #2024Book32

...It had been easy. The pages that follow are light with their loss. The text is less dense. The city is smaller.

...show and tell. Those nights, those cities are the center , the fulcrum, the very wheel upon which you turn.

The Detective Up Late | Adrian McKinty

Detective Inspector Sean Duffy has a 15 year old girl he is trying to find. He uncovers an underground of men who seem to know her very well. Can he survive one last case before getting himself and his family out over the water? The writing of this book is well done with plenty of humor. Sean has moved his family to Scotland and will commute.

EadieB He'll take the ferry over and work 7 days a month in order to retire at 20 years with benefits. The plot is clever with terrific characters. If you like humor and wit with your mystery thriller then you will love this book. I'm now looking forward to the next Sean Duffy book. I hope we don't have to wait 6 years for that one! Highly recommend! 2mo
