I thoroughly enjoyed this. The title is a subtle nod to a pivotal but very minor point in the development of this serendipitous meeting of two women from different backgrounds at a location steeped in tragic history.
We meet Rachel, who works in the film industry and Caroline, a crime reporter from New York. Both have ties to Ireland and for very different reasons wind up at the quaint location of Hare's Landing, where they strike up a wonderful investigative friendship (with the help of Jasper the retired police dog) and find themselves right in the thick of a thirty year old unsolved disappearance and recent deaths.
Blake does well to craft a story that has many small links and a conceivably real timeline of events that lead to the pieces of the puzzle being solved. With a slightly spooky atmosphere this crime thriller stands apart from the norm, and is in all parts gripping. I particularly enjoyed the twist at the end!
