This is an interesting book. A book about family, secrets, and so much more. This is an engaging book that keeps the readers engrossed from the very beginning to the end. This is a wonderful book.

I become increasingly immersed in the world of these characters with each novel in June Gillam's Hillary Broome mystery series. Despite being a complex and troubled person, I believe most of us can identify with the problems Clinton faces. House of Eire is an excellent character study and captivating narrative.

The novel seems to gain from Claire's addition of a new dimension. Although if it doesn't necessarily make it unique, I find the plot of how frequently wonderful trips tend to be derailed by something or other to be interesting. Bravo for winning the BOTD! Great review!

This is an attention grabbing novel. The plot is exciting as I read from the summary of the book. I will like to read the dark family secrets that Hillary eventually dug up. Kudos to the reviewer for this captivating review.

It appears that Claire gives the book an additional dimension. The idea that wonderful trips frequently seem to be cut short by something or other sounds intriguing, even though it isn't particularly original. We appreciate you introducing us to this one.

Sometimes, tracing your origin or family can open you up to family enemies. I hope Hillary will be able to succeed in her quest. Will read this book to find out. Congrats on BOTD.

Each novel in June Gillam's mystery series featuring Hillary Broome draws me deeper into the world of these characters. Although Hillary is a complicated and troubled person, I believe that most of us can identify with the problems she faces. House of Eire is a compelling story with excellent character development.

I want to read this book because it's set in Ireland and it was BOTD on St. Patrick's day. how about that! I enjoyed your review, especially your comments on the author's ability to craft a believable seven-year-old character. :drool:

Sometimes, I believe in the saying that "what you don't know can't kill you." However, I am curious to know how Hillary will handle the new secrets she learns about her family roots. I enjoyed reading your review.

This book sounds very interesting. I am curious to see what dark family secrets the protagonist discovers on their trip to Ireland. I am also glad that even though this book is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. Congratulations on BOTD.
