Hate and ignorance are learned traits that only destroy people. Love and understanding build up people. The story was poignant and relevant. Characters interesting and frightening.

Story
There are some days when being the Garda Sergeant of a small Irish town really tests me. Having to police my family and friends is a necessary evil, but when I’m faced with arresting half the children in the town, and discovering someone close to me among the offenders, well, those days I really wish I’d chosen a different career. Irate parents are not my only problem unfortunately, as I’m then called to manage a baying mob of strangers, bearing placards and demanding change. I’m all for peaceful protest, but these people were threatening the vulnerable, and I’m just not having that.

I loved the characters, the life struggles, the humor all told without any obscenities which isn’t necessary for a good writer and a well written story.

Third time not a charm
Reviewed: 10-19-23
No need to throw a child ghost into the story, just dumb. The first book so entertaining and the characters quirky but relatable. The second boring. This book was repetitive and reaching but never made it.

I appreciated the characters were written with real emotions and they or the story didn’t take the turns you may have wanted them to. I also loved the beauty in how animals can touch and change our lives so deeply.

After the death of her parents, she is apprenticed to an eccentric wax sculptor and whisked off to the seamy streets of Paris, where they meet a domineering widow and her quiet, pale son. Together, they convert an abandoned monkey house into an exhibition hall for wax heads, and the spectacle becomes a sensation. As word of her artistic talent spreads, Marie is called to Versailles, where she tutors a princess and saves Marie Antoinette in childbirth. But outside the palace walls, Paris is roiling....

When her reserved room at a bed-and-breakfast is flooded, she takes up the offer of camping out in Willoughby Close, the converted stables of the nearby manor house...and is taken under the wing of sexy local carpenter Colin Heath.
