Had to buy a book for the book club at work, which naturally started a mini-spree when I got on Better World Books. This is one of the ones I picked up because it is part of a series I have either already enjoyed or been interested in reading.

I loved my trip to Ireland and I am fascinated by languages, so I had high hopes for this book involving a woman who is a translator during her trip to Ireland. It was a decent mystery, but I never really became attached to the character of Torrey Tunnet or to most of the characters in the book (the one exception was Fergus Callaghan). The murder victim was a truly reprehensible human being and deserved what he got and more. I felt like the setting of Ireland got downplayed almost as much as Torrey's work as a translator, although I know both played a part in the solution of the crime. It wasn't a bad book, but given how many series there are that I am more attached to the main character, I doubt I will pursue any more of these books.

This book is going to meet-up with me and hopefully going home with someone else.

Picked up at today's BCinDC meet-up. It isn't a proper meet-up unless I get one from 6of8.

Not bad, not bad. A tale with some interesting twists. The reader may be a little sad for the first innocent victim. The second, however? The only question there is why didn't someone kill him sooner?

Bringing to the Gaithersburg Book Festival. May this book find new readers (and new journal entries :-) )
