OK, for starters, there's a a retired Chicago cop who has moved to Ireland for a quiet life, the troubled family; that everyone knows, the missing teenager and the big boys from Dublin. Oh yes, and the villagers.
I don't want to give to much away, as this is something that you need to read. Hats off, this really is THAT GOOD.

My memory fails me, but lets fast forward a generation. A family, more than content with the life that they had.
A fair, a skeleton and a world up-ended. Step in psychics and podcasters, all with their own agendas.
I would like to be able to say that I have read even some parts of her back catalogue, but I haven't.
This is a gripping story that has you hanging on for dear life, as soon as you have read the opening paragraph. It ebbs and flows, draws you in and has you jumping to the wrong conclusions.
A thoroughly enjoyable read, if you need some suspense in your life for a couple of days. Do yourself a favour, go out and buy this.

I've had this book for quite a while now, and it would appear that I have done both it, and the author some injustice in having not read it thus far.
It follows the life of one family, residents of Little Egypt. Their fight against the Oil companies, both locally and nationally on the environment. I mean no harm, but it could easily have veered off on the environmental track, as they had a copy of a report by EXXON which denied global warming as a fallacy. So as to melt the Alaskan ice flows to make it easier to drill for oil.
But that is just a small part of the story.
Overall, it is a story about friendship, love, family, oh yes and the good lord himself (who got most of the best lines).
