The Uncle has got it - by George he's got it..... Review of In The WIcker Wood....

Review of In The Wicker Wood on Amazon.... 4.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Criminal Tries to Make Good, June 22, 2015 By Uncle G Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: In The Wicker Wood: Where Secrets Are Buried (Kindle Edition) Sordid tale of Irish tough guys who screw each other over in new and interesting ways while trying to make up for past sins. I enjoyed this story because it took place in Ireland and I haven't read a book set in Ireland (well I read Ulysses at the University but that was a whole different trip). There was just the right amount of street talk and street logic used by the characters to keep me on edge. I was very interested in, and yet scared shitless of, these mean bastards and the gritty underworld they inhabit. There were several times I wanted to double check the locks on the windows and doors in my house just thinking that there are despicable people like these loose on the streets. The plot at times is a bit stretched out but the motivation of the various characters (who include crooks, cops, priests and IRA rebels) kept me engaged and guessing. Also, I liked all the Irish nomenclature and phrases and customs that were normal to the author and the characters but were quaint and sometimes baffling to me.
