- I was born in Ireland. When I was ten, the family left for England like so many Irish families at the time, and even now. We settled in Brixton, a working class South London neighbourhood....I left school knowing no university would take me, and headed for America. After wandering around for a few years, working as a cook in New York, Boston and Toronto, I arrived in Montreal.. I was right, and quickly came to love Montreal like no other place. I continued working as a cook at various greasy spoons but I also began to dream.
Concordia University had a mature student program with night classes. They let me in with a deal that if I did OK, I could stay, if not, I couldn’t. I did OK enough to get into McGill Law where I worked as a breakfast cook from 5.30 am to 11 a.m., and then went to law classes. Now I practice international law at one of Canada’s largest firms..I’ve been writing fiction since I left school, but the demands of raising a family and building a law practice meant that there was never enough time. The sock-drawer filled up with unfinished pieces. I figured writing legal briefs was close enough to writing fiction. But it wasn’t. It still isn’t.

The story began well, but the book really needed a good proof-reader. My copy had numerous grammatical & spelling errors. It was very distracting, especially as I was reading a library copy of this book & someone had taken a marker & corrected many of the mistakes throughout the book. And of course that person had missed some & corrected others that were not mistakes. Very distracting & annoying. I was surprised at all of the errors considering the author is supposed to be a lawyer.
There were also a few odd, inconsistant conversations between the Inspector & a few of the other characters which lead me to think that some of these might also have contained errors.
An "ok" mystery, but not one where I would seek out the next book.… (más)
