I had such high expectations for this one, I couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed that I didn't love it as much as the others. The writing is terrific of course, and I obviously love Conway and Moran, but the murder case itself just wasn't that compelling. I kept waiting for the plot to expand, and when that didn't happen I got a little antsy. The dark, mean place that is the Dublin murder squad is not where you want to feel claustrophobic. Well, perhaps the next installment will feature some happy and well-adjusted detectives in a respectful, healthy work environment. With Frank Mackay doing needlepoint.

I enjoy a police procedural, but the ending's psychological rationale was a bit of a stretch.
