Just started it last night and it already has me entranced after the first two chapters. Griffin is a remarkable writer. She brings her protagonist, an 84 year old Irishman into vivid life from the get go. My wife read it and said “this is a really, really good book.” She prefers crime fiction as her standard go to. This book is anything but, so this is very high praise coming from her. After 90 pages out of about 320, I already don’t want it to end.
