I listened to the audio version, narrated by Caroline Lennon. I thought the narrator was very good with her use of different voices, great inflection and her Irish accent. The book had a bit of a slow start, as the little village, its characters and a fatal accident were being introduced. As events played out, the various interactions between characters made the story believable and characters real. Then two murders happen, and the hunt is on for the murderer/s. The pace picked up, and I found myself rewinding (shows my age) - clicking back - to previous sections, to listen to them again. It was easy to miss details. All in all, this is a great mystery, and I would consider another book in the series. I would probably search for the audio with Caroline Lennon narrating, as she really brought out the authenticity of the book.

The book is written in such a way that the reader is helping to solve the murder.

I didn't like how quickly the book moved through situations, because it made important details easy to miss.

When I finished, I wanted to read more.

I recommend this book, because it was entertaining and exciting. There were some twists that kept the suspense up.
