The Mountains Wild: A Mystery

The Irish setting of Sarah Stewart Taylor's The Mountains Wild is wonderful, but although I did enjoy the setting and the main character of strong, determined Maggie D'arcy, that's about all that I did enjoy.

The story needed tightening, and the plot didn't hold any real surprises for me. Due to something Erin did as a small child, I couldn't even drum up much sympathy for her or the desire to have her found. All in all, my response was decidedly lackluster, but your mileage may certainly vary.
