I had been excited to get this book and start on it, but it was difficult to get through. I didn't realize until I started reading that the writer is from Scotland, which sort of explains why the language and terminology are different. I didn't care for how the chapters flip back and forth from different characters and from different time frames. I think this is what made the book hard to get into. In all, I was suprised by the ending, but still had questions. I'm glad I got through it, but wouldn't recommend it.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gave a great look into the "gypsy" traveler community in England. It is not a "normal" murder mystery but has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end. The only wish I had was a more detailed ending, but I guess that this means the book was so good you didn't want it to end! I will look for other books by the author.
