"Kind deeds rarely leave a lasting mark."
An intricate dark entanglement of true crime and atmosphere make up this compelling debut that takes the reader deep into a calculated mind and early 19th-century Dublin. The less you know, the better with this novel that may have some twisted surprises waiting for the right reader. A little slow in the beginning but once the corners of the puzzle of the narrator’s thoughts and reminisces are placed down then this tale takes on an unsettling tone that is hard to ignore. The dialogue and a few scenes also skip occasionally out of the setting and era but the sinister and prolific period details shared in this story pull the eye away from those types of blemishes and slowly reveal a real gem that makes terrific reading for those of us who love multilayered thrillers with lasting emotional impressions.
