Scandal in Skibbereen by Sheila Connolly

"I live just outside Skibbereen so couldn't resist buying this. I loved the mention of the local people and places but aside from that, I found the book to be well written, with great characters. I was delighted with my purchase and would recommend it to lovers of murder mysteries without the excessive violence so often found in books today..."

"Sheila Connolly has done it again. I really enjoyed the first in this series set in Cork County, Ireland. If anything this second offering was even better. The story covers about three generations in the lives of three families inextricably intertwined due to circumstance. It provides a very plausible finale after distributing delightful red herrings along the way. These two books have laid the groundwork for an engrossing series featuring the local people in Leap that we have met so far.

작가의 다른 작품들에 비해서 초반부터 끝까지 긴장감을 잘 유지하고 있는 작품이다. 고미술과 관련된 사람들의 이야기나 Ireland 역사에 대한 이야기는 이 책이 가지는 매력이다. 재밌는 등장인물들도 이 책을 계속 읽게 만드는 매력이다. 영어문장이나 구성은 작가의 다른 작품들처럼 읽기에 편하다.
