Buried in a Bog by Sheila Connolly

2.0

The reason this book got 2 stars and not 1 star was the wonderful descriptions of the landscape and life of the people in small villages. The side characters were much better then the main character. Maura Donovan is bitter, bitchy, rude and so negative it's a wonder she hasn't offed herself. Also this book is so repetitive it literally could have been half the number of pages if we didn't have to hear the main character repeat Maura Donovan from Boston, or oh you'll be the American every time we see a new character. Also Maura decides that if nothing is like the way she thinks of things, or in this case the way us pesky American's do every thing then that person must be wrong and must want something better or can improve somehow. The time setting of the book puzzles me as well. Most of the time is sounds as if it's happening in the here and now or maybe a couple of years ago. But at many times it seems to slide back and it seems as if the time setting were a couple of decades ago. This book is also a drama or almost soap opera not a mystery. The "mystery" isn't mentioned much and the main character doesn't solve it, it just kinda works it self out on it's own. Not very suspenseful either. I will not be reading the next book as it looks like it's more of the same.
