“Rather hard work this one and not as rewarding as others by the author.
The story is of a woman who has lost her lover and struggles to deal with the grief. She is a horologist and her boss gives her a plum job to construct a mechanical bird. This bird was a labour of love for a father to create for his son 200 years previously. Good and memorable in parts.

“I’m not much of a fan of writing teams, and I’m not convince to change my opinion with this husband and wife writing duo’s effort.
Irish serial killing murderer on the loose and a race against time to stop the macabre deaths.
Nothing wrong with it, just another average thriller but it did keep my attention.

“A gentle, wry and amusing book which is a little like a history lesson of the last hundred years told as an Ealing comedy.
