and it was pretty good, but there's a huge enormous plot flaw in it, that when that information pops up, it took me totally out of the story. But it was readable, and other than that plot flaw, decent. But I'm not sure I'll bother with anything else by her, especially as it seems her first novels were self-published, and I've long been wary of such.

But now I'm on to Faithful Place by Tana French and so far, fifty pages in, it's her typical excellent book. I like the way she takes time to develop characters and let you learn what you need to know about them.
