Book Overview
The rugged west coast of Ireland seems like the perfect place for a holiday. Then everything starts to go wrong. Colin is aware of an awful smell coming off the land, a smell of death and decay... Colin and Prill were looking forward to a holiday of fun and adventure in Ireland. It would have been perfect if only they hadn't had to drag along their "odd" cousin Oliver. But Oliver, it turns out, isn't their biggest problem.

This book is a very good book, it takes a good look at the Potato Famine in the 1940's, and at the same time it turns away from the cliches of many thrillers. The haunted house is non-existent, and there isn't any monster or vampire that sucks the blood out of the 3 main characters, Prill, Colin and Oliver. It has a well-developed plot, and also gives it's deserved respect to the Potato Famine. Overall, a worthy and pleasing read.
