This book took me a long time to really get in to. It's not that it was poorly written, it just didn't hook me like I expected it to after reading some of the reviews. It wasn't until about half way through that I bought into the story. It is the story of John Delahunt, a real person though the story is fictional. Delahunt worked for the Castle in Dublin after failing out of college & losing his father's house to the bank. He eloped young & was forced to go to them to support himself & his young wife. The beginning drug on & the end was lacking. I just wasn't impressed.

Merry heads to upstate New York to claim her inheritance, a castle. However, someone has been digging holes in the yard. After a public fight with Tom Turner, the hole digger, Tom winds up dead at the bottom of a new hole. Can Merry figure out why?

The book got off to a slow start with a bit too much of a back story dump. However, once the book got going, it was great with eccentric but believable characters and twists to the plot. I'm looking forward to reading more.
