Críticas

oh man i'm sorry. this was not for me. the prose is beautiful and wow can he write but i could not have cared any less about this story or these people. spy books are truly not for me. but his writing made it so i couldn't just skim this. i need to find content by him that is more up my alley because he's such a fantastic writer, but everything i've read by him so far has been hard for me to get into.

A priest gets murdered and his body mutilated in an Irish estate home and long-suffering Detective Inspector Strafford (who always has to correct people from “Stafford”) is on the case. Everyone’s a suspect, everyone is holding back secrets, and catholic church is pressuring Strafford to hush it all up. To add insult to deadly injury, it won’t stop snowing, making any sort of mobility a difficulty.

Christie but make it Irish, a smidge more modern, and quite a bit more than a smidge gritty and violent. I loved it up until I didn’t, but my aversion is certainly my own and not the fault of the book, which is wonderfully written. What I didn’t love was the part of the story in which the priest was a pedophile, which in itself wouldn’t have turned me away, but there’s a chapter written from his POV about his ‘sins,’ and that tips it over into the Ewewewickickick category for me.… (mais)
