Re: Was the Mystery Simplistic?
The book had previously caught my eye, but since it is part of a series, I passed over it thinking I would come back to it later when I was in the mood for a series. Now, I think it will be bumped further back on my list.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt this way- at first I thought the author was building up to something great but in the end I concluded it was just slow writing.

I agree, there was a big portion of the book that felt like someone's diary of when they went on vacation. While I liked hearing about the Irish traditions, there were many times I wondered why there were so many seemingly irrelevant parts included since they didn't appear to have anything to do with the mystery.
I also thought Seamus' actions at the end were a bit out of character for his up-until-then rational personality and too convenient to be plausible.
