PositiveThe Guardian (UK)... captures the sun-dappled idyll of an Irish holiday and locks it into an irretrievably damaged past ... The picture of small-town Ireland disfigured by political corruption is intriguing, but the novel\'s driving force is the relationship between the two detectives: Adam, smart and funny but faking it, and Cassie – brave, genuine and kind ... the perfect holiday read: from its opening pages, that lost summer of childhood is perilously close.

PositiveThe Guardiana gripping and heartbreaking narrative ... These stories are not neat and the actions of the people in them are not always reasonable and Perry does not try to tidy them up.
