MY REVIEW
This is my first read by this author and I thought it was a great read.
An elderly man books into a B&B in a small village in Ireland. Four days later his body is found in a lake. The man booked in with no ID and paid cash. Not only do we wonder who this man is but we read of the lives of the women running the B&B.
This is a well written story, thought provoking and definitely worth a read.
