4.0

It was my first time reading a book by this author and so I went into it not knowing what to expect. 

It was well written and I enjoyed trying to solve the mystery of who the killer was.

I liked Strafford's character, but Quirke's not so much. His continuous drinking probably had something to do with that! 

Thank you to PH and John Banville for the chance to read this book.
