"I’ve always joked about this. I don’t look forward to dying! I’m not afraid of dying and I’ve already died once before, but not living anymore and not being able to share life? I love my family, I love my band, I love where my life is right now and my career’s going great. I believe the metal community right now… the pendulum has swung in a positive way for all of us, not only the Big Four but the little 400 as well! (laughs)"

Maura Donovan is fulfilling a promise to her Gran and visiting the part of Ireland where the family originated. However, her time of discovering family history is interrupted by two bodies – one dredged up from a bog and one more modern victim.

Sadly, the mystery takes a back, back seat to the story of Maura learning family history and discovering the part of Ireland. The author obviously loves the area and brings it to vivid life, but it over shadows the mystery, which takes a back seat. The characters were enjoyable, but not enough to make me long for a repeat visit to County Cork.

Captivating...
Bernie Madoff. What can you say? His Ponzi scheme was so complex, far-reaching and of epic proportions, it ruined many people's lives. Tore their life savings from them based on the betrayal of trust.


"Rain Man' director, Barry Levinson, successfully captures the intrigue, suspense, and also the interesting family dynamics in this compelling true story.


If the family dynamics are to be believed as his wife and sons did not know about any of the lies and fraudulent trading, they were either incredibly naive, incredibly stupid or just living the good life..


De Niro gives one of his most memorable recent performances and almost makes you sympathize with him. The actual reporter who wrote the book plays herself well in the film also.


Was Madoff a sociopath?
