Finn is self-exiled cop from Ireland who leaves into a self-imposed exile after a murder investigation goes bad. He returns when the sister of the victim becomes concerned that a fairytale is playing out, targeting her family. While Finn does not believe in "The Green Man", someone certainly is using the tale as a template for murders that are terrorizing her and her family. Local law enforcement is not happy to seem him back in town and animosity rules the day. The ending has an unexpected twist, that's a plus side. Mostly though the story was steeped in stereotypical Irish ruffians, most who get what's coming to them. The ending might have been unpredictable, the fate of most of the characters however was not. Finn O’Grady hasn’t been home in years, but when Bridie O’Connor calls, he returns to Kilmeaden, Ireland to find out why someone’s killing the members of her family. He's there to put a stop to the killing and to finally find justice for a long-ago crime that tore Bridie’s family apart and changed Finn’s life forever. This BookShots tale takes the Celtic legend of the Green Man and spins it into a tale of greed, revenge, and redemption. Characterization is sketchy at best, but the strength of the narrative lies in Finn’s efforts to set things right. Readers are likely to find this quick read absorbing despite the early identification of the villains. There is, however, an unexpected twist late in the story that seems a bit disingenuous. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
