Murder in an Irish Cottage

The idyllic Irish backdrop adds so much charm — I wonder if the author has a personal connection to Ireland or if it was a creative choice to set the tone.

The story was engaging overall, but I felt it dragged at times. Was this intentional to build atmosphere, or just how the story evolved?

There are moments that made me smile but also tense scenes — I’m curious how the tone shifts are crafted to keep readers hooked.
