Each book in June Gillam's mystery series featuring Hillary Broome draws me more into the world of these characters. Hillary is a complex, conflicted woman, but I think most of us can relate to the issues she struggles with. House of Eire is a fine character study and riveting story.

I felt this review is insightful into what the book of the day is about, however I found the review to be a bit clunky. Especially in the middle of the review when the reviewer started talking about the character types again and restated what type of character the main person is.
