Imagine picking up a newspaper and reading that 2 women, the Walsh sisters along with their aunt are found brutally murdered in their house. As you're reading you find out that the aunt was secretly keeping her nieces locked away in the attic all because of one man, by the name of Jim Darling. Jim Darling is a "Seanchai" or story teller. He travels to different cities in Ireland and tells the same story. As he moves around from city to city women are mysteriously being murdered. As the story unfolds you find out why the Walsh sisters risked everything, and if "He would love her or kill her".

Opinion: 

WOW! This book was amazing, and I could hardly put it down. The characters are so well written, and the plot unfolds beautifully. This is one murder mystery that should be read by everyone. I absolutly loved the Walsh sisters, and as I was reading the book I was fighting for them to succeed in their quest, and unfortunatly I also was fighting for Darling Jim. Christian Moerk makes such a likeable narcissitic male you almost feel bad for him...almost. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy plots that are full of exciting twists and murder mysteries that actually have depth to them.

I rated it a 3 because it has a few sexually explicit scenes, and the language could be viewed as inappropriate as well.
