interesting story about an art theft, seduction and betrayal. Very readable and well worth a go. Occasionally the Irish characters seemed a bit stage Irish but overall not a bad book. I found it difficult to pinpoint the actual time for a while until the characters started to talk about specific events in the past. Then again I'm sure there are places in the wilds of Cork that are like that.
