A smart, witty, intriguing, and mysterious story that pulls you in right off the opening pages. With her sophisticated blend of history, culture, mystery, and a touch of strange, Jess Kidd writes a beautiful magical tale that will entice any reader.

It is there in Mulderrig where the beauty of Kidd’s prose are exposed as she slowly unfolds the truth, lies, and secrets. As these revelations comes forth, Kidd never derails from Mahony’s main objective. So if you are looking a tale that was strangely beautiful and well-written then I urge you to take a chance on this book that was a blend of mystery, magic, and Irish charm.
