I didn't like this book at all. I would have stopped reading it, except I had to read the follow up book. The author uses language that can be confusing to non-Irish people (and I don't mean people who have Irish ancestors, you have to be from Ireland to understand some of the slang). The book was way too long and the story didn't move fast enough. There were long pages of descriptions on things the reader didn't need to know. The main character, Rob Ryan, is annoying. All I wanted to do was scream at him to man up. When he sleeps with Cassie, I wanted to kill him. He was just so stupid.
The end of the book was the only good part, I liked the twist, although I did see it coming. It wasn't important to me that Rob's part of the mystery wasn't solved, but it was slightly annoying that the story wasn't wrapped up. That was the reason I gave it more than half a star.
