Unfortunately still pretty pricey on Amazon.com. If it is too much to spend, check your local library. My library system actually has five copies.

Some questions to consider while reading:What do you think of Annie's story of the "hoodie crow" and does the family dynamic contribute to her story not being understood and explored fully?
There is a multitude of characters and storylines, do you think this added to the depth or complexity of the story or do you think it distracted from the murder mystery?
How authentic did you find the setting, both time and place?
This book seemed to pull stories from recent headlines about abuses in orphanages/work houses, corruption in the priesthood, and intolerances surrounding immigration. Does this add to the story for you?
David wrote: "Have to say having read this I was a little disappointed. I thought they really didn't get going on searching or finding killer until nearly half way through the book. It seemed to me to be too muc..." I totally agree..a case of not being sure of the genre and so not performing well in any category. If anything, I would say that for me it seemed more like historical women's fiction than anything.
