From Library Journal
Another procedural, this latest in a long-running series. Irish policeman Peter McGarr goes to the Irish resort of Parknasilla to determine whether the digitalis-induced death of a famous and beloved philanthropist, about to turn politician, was planned or accidental. With the aid of his much-younger wife and several undercover detectives, McGarr questions the man's doctor, his athletic ex-wife, his mistress/assistant, and several powerful politicians. Violent action combines with aptly depicted peculiarities of Irish place and speech to create an involving mystery with a heavy mix of political intrigue. The IRA background and Irish idiom may be heavygoing for some, but fans will like this.
