I have enjoyed the complexity of this author’s books in the past and this one fits the profile. It’s essentially a “who done it”, where “it” is a series of crimes, but not murder. The threads are a little complex, but make sense. Mostly the story is focussed on the residents of Maumtully and the protagonist’s family and the interactions between them.
A strong thread through the story - alongside the main theme in a way - is the romance. Although this is described well enough, I wonder if the story could have worked well without it? Maybe it is just expected in this type of book. Also I did get a bit confused by the enormous number of characters, but perhaps the complexity of the story needs them.
Anyway, I am sure that I will read more of this author’s work.
