A worthy read for my "Read a book from each of the 32 counties in Ireland" (Kildare).  The characters are well written, complex enough, and witty. There are at least three layers to the story, and the story surprises and turns into something else at least twice. Big mysteries aren't fully answered, so if that's something you need in a book.. this may not be for you.  It's an engaging and fast read. I really enjoyed this world and the tricks the author uses to invite us into it.
