McCaffrey's story is set in Lonsdale, a suburb of Dublin, where journalist Emma Boylan has just won an award for her hard-hitting investigative writing. She's still basking in the glow of adulation when the community is shocked by the tragic death of its parish priest in a traffic accident. The police soon realize the priest's death was no accident. A murder investigation is launched, and Emma can't resist poking her nose in, especially since her friend, DI Jim Connelly, is heading up the case. Arson, infidelity, revenge, a tragic fire in a girls' school, and an unsavory scandal involving a local schoolteacher all figure in the investigation. McCaffrey's stylish writing, captivating characters, and imaginative plotting make this a fine choice for mystery collections. McCaffrey's first three novels, also starring Emma Boylan, were published only in Ireland; here's hoping he quickly becomes a fixture on this side of the Atlantic.""--Booklist
