Have to admit i was quite confused about midway when i realised i had no idea who the person was who was narrating this story, thought i might have missed it from the start, but all becomes clear by the end. Wasn't quite sure what to expect from this one, it follows from the death of a young man in an altercation outside a nightclub. Why did the fight take place, who exactly was involved, what happens next? It explores the privilege lives of the moneyed elite of South Dublin.
It was a bit short, and i had hoped for more from the trial side of it. But as the story reveals, the narrator can only tell you so much, they explain their reasons for this, but it was interesting reading more about how the other half live, and the effects such a thing can have even on them.
