You've got to love the Irish!,

This review is from: The Four Courts Murder (Hardcover)
"...for the rest of the day, Front sat in court, silent and immobile, like a vampire in his coffin, awaiting the evening." The only problem with living alone is not having anyone to whom I can read wonderful passages aloud. I loved the writing and that the story is told from the perspective of the different characters. The characters are well done and even have personal lives. The case unfolds in layers, each increasing my interest and involvement. I didn't identify the killer--although looking back, I should have-but loved the final resolution. I really enjoyed this book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Four Courts Murder (Hardcover)
I am not a mystery reader; when I try one (even classics, like Christie and Sayers) I usually lose interest after 50 pages or less. But not this one! My wife pressed it on me, and after devouring it, we sent a copy as a gift to my lawyer brother.
Often very funny, and apparently written by one knowledgeable about the Irish legal system. If you are interested in the courts, the Irish, or just good writing, try it!

5.0 out of 5 stars
fabulous Irish police procedural,
This review is from: The Four Courts Murder (Hardcover)
The most detested person in Dublin's judicial system is Justice Sidney Piggott. Police Inspector Denis Lennon would agree that the Four Courts judge is a nasty person, but how widely disliked the man is he has no idea until someone murders His Honor. Denis heads the investigation with an assist from Sergeant Molly Power, but the list of suspects from Piggott's employment circle with motive seems like much of the city.
The two cops have one potential lead; several individuals mentioned that an unknown young man hung around the courtroom while Piggott worked on a particularly minor case. No one could say who this person is or why he would want to observe a tedious trial. Could he have waited for the right moment to kill Piggott? Denis plans to find out. This is a fabulous Irish police procedural in which the audience sees different perspectives; These include those of the two cops and interestingly the negative muses of the missing man who seemingly stalked the victim and is now undecided whether he dreamed or actually killed Piggott. The story line grips the audience as the case widens beyond Dublin to the Irish countryside where another related death occurred. With a fully developed support cast enhancing the official inquirie, readers will enjoy this powerful who-done-it. Harriet Klausner
