Strong characters and a vivid depiction of Irish American family life make Emery's second mystery (in a projected trilogy) as outstanding as her first
Starred review
Canadian attorney Monty Collins brings his family to New York City to attend a wedding, where the bride's grandfather, Declan Burke, is shot and almost killed. The Burke siblings, led by Father Brennan Burke (first seen in Sign of the Cross) and aided by Collins, begin a full-scale investigation into the assassination attempt. Their hunt uncovers Declan's years in the Irish Republican Army and raises questions of whether he remains active as a weapons supplier. Strong characters and a vivid depiction of Irish American family life make Emery's second mystery (in a projected trilogy) as outstanding as her first. The Irish Catholic flavor is reminiscent of Robert Daly's books and will appeal to his fans. Emery lives in Halifax, NS.
