Other things I liked: the differences in narrative voice are very well done. Though the story begins to shape up fairly early (in the first third) I was still fully engaged throughout the rest, as answers only opened up more interesting questions. The writing itself was also very lyrical and nice. Read this!

This served its precise purpose of being the thriller distraction I needed, hence my rating. Helen Duff was an excellent narrator. It was exactly what I needed.
Pretty shit way to use your main Irish character - legit no reason for her to be Irish, other than being a British author with implicit biases.
