What a wonderful read! I really liked it, the story was a good mystery. I liked the back and forth between past and present, but it did take me a while to get truly into the plot.

Docked a star because the timey-wimey stuff got to be hard to follow. I found the end very confusing and hard to follow. I did read this while actively traveling in Dublin so its possible my travel brain made it harder to follow along.
