A PRAYER FOR THE DYING (Jack Higgins) - February 10/10

This incredibly breezy book - I read it in a day - tells the simple yet engrossing story of an ex IRA soldier who finds himself embroiled in a series of problems within a small town. Aside from Higgins' penchant for including interludes that aren't that interesting - ie a tour through a crematorium - A Prayer for the Dying is an exceptionally entertaining read that certainly makes me curious to check out some of his other books. *** out of ****
