I enjoyed the story, but a good editor might have excised up to a hundred pages of this finely detailed, if somewhat redundant story of abuse, hate, revenge murder and retribution. Lots of authentic Irish dialect and slang in the dialogue here, something Phelan excels at. I liked this book enough to try yet another Phelan's novel, if I can only find the time.
