Non-linear murder story dredges up buried skeletons,
By
This review is from: No Country for Young Men (Paperback)
I liked this novel a lot. An American documentary film-maker goes to the Republic of Ireland on a project, and unwittingly steps on a rake, as his subject matter and associates have ties to events in early 20th C Ireland. The plot lines weave and swoop in different times, and it all builds to a climactic closing. You should check this out.
