The Cold Cold Ground

Set in Northern Ireland in 1983, The Cold Cold Ground by Adrian McKinty follows a Catholic police officer in the Royal Ulster Constabulary as he investigates a series of murders.  The book does an excellent job of evoking a period and a mood.  The mystery was interesting but I found the ending troublesome. 

This book is the first in a purported trilogy but I doubt that I will read the next installment.   I would probably only recommend it to someone with an interest in reading about Northern Ireland during that particularly troublesome point in its history.
