The Keening: A Mystery of Gaelic Ireland by Anne Emery

3.0

This was a solidly written novel that was easy to get hooked into. I looooove when novels have a dual timelines, and as I always do, I found myself way more invested in the past timeline than the present one. However, the plot kind of meandered and the big ‘mystery’ wasn’t even resolved on the page, leaving you to learn about the resolution in a very *balloon deflating noise* way. I think this book could’ve used some tightening up from the editor’s chair, but overall, I enjoyed the journey this book took me on and I was thoroughly impressed with the lengthy list of sources that were used by the author and printed at the end.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher.
