Like it a lot, so far. Jack Taylor as your classic flawed hero. Giving up drink, cynical, unloved, violent, sarcastic, insightful. So far a couple of murders--loan shark (female) thrown over her own stairwell to her death. Stolen statue of Mary. Rich guy moved into poor Irish town--spare, sparse prose. The exact opposite of A Great Reckoning which I'm also reading now. LIke this one much more.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
