The Hawley Book of the Dead: A Novel by Chrysler SzarlanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fine magical mystery steeped in Irish myth. I really enjoyed the back story of the Dyer women -- that was the real mystery here. My quibbles: I figured out a couple of plot points long before the heroine did, and the characters and relationships are rather two-dimensional. That doesn't mean I wasn't drawn in to the story and eager to see where it went. Very cool for me, as well, that it is set not far from the part of New England where I live.
