Laid-back drama about Cal, an ex-cop looking for peace and quiet in a remote Irish town. He doesn't get it.

This was just ok, I'm not sure I get why people are raving about it.
It is well written and a good enough story but nothing remarkable or special, in my opinion.

Slow burn. Moody. I enjoyed it, but didn’t *love* it.

Not a satisfying read, despite wonderful characters. Not enough happens, not enough resolution. Makes me not want to go to Ireland. Reliable quality prose.
