I was so happy to find this at on of my favourite Kathmandu bookstores today, for my recipient in the 12 days of Christmas exchange. (I'm late, I know, sorry!) But I nearly bought a book (or two) that just really didn't look interesting, just because they had the word FOUR in the title!
This book looks great--a first novel by an Irish author who is an ex-lawyer and is now a Benedictine monk!
I also bought a few more things to make up my package so I can get it in the mail first of next week!

Posted this out today to Releanna--as you can guess, my day was 4 -- Four Calling Birds. So I sent four birds and a few other goodies to make the journey to Austria. :)

PS - I also read the book quickly over the weekend, and I really enjoyed it. The plot was clever, the characters and the resolution compassionate, and there was a lot of interesting insight into daily Irish life. I enjoy reading crime novels by authors from different countries for that insight it gives you. It's the first novel by this author and I will keep a lookout for the others now. I hope you enjoy it too, Releanna!

Also, this month I am releasing books in memory of Mary, Megi53's mother, who liked British authors--this one is Irish, but that is part of the British Isles, too, so I am including it!

thank you so much for all the wonderful things!

read this a few months ago but forgot to make an entry.
Enjoyed this mystery-crime very much :)

Ich habe dieses Buch zufällig gesehen und da ich Irin bin, war ich neugierig. Den Autor kannte ich noch nicht! Ich verbringe meine Zeit in der U-Bahn zum lesen - daher hat es länger gedauert bis ich es fertiggelesen habe. Es war unterhaltsam und recht schlüssig und logisch geschrieben. Ich habe den Schluss nicht erraten......

For those of you who don't understand German: I'm Irish living in Austria and picked up this book quite by chance. I was curious as I didn't know the author already. I spend my time in the underground (when I'm on my way to work) reading, so it took a little longer before I was finished reading it. I found it entertaining and it was written logically and the story made sense. I have to say, I did not guess the end......
