THE GHOSTS OF BELFAST by Stuart Neville


This novel started out a little strange because in the first chapter, the “ghosts” appear, and I’m thinking what’s this about.  Quickly, however, I was drawn into a world I know more than a little bit about because my husband is a first generation Irish American.  Northern Ireland in the time of “the troubles” is war with all its consequences.  The characters and their actions are completely believable and often horrifyingly violent.  I‘ve read that this is to be the first in a series and I’m eagerly awaiting the next one, as is my husband.

Soho 2009, 326 p.
