![]() ![]() Now is as good a time as any to relaunch the investigation. When the police unearth a cache of human bones near a historic homestead called the Castle, Eliza cannot help but remember the disappearance of her best friend, still unsolved, shortly after a party at the Castle more than two decades ago. Complicating matters, Eliza is a Kinsale hometown girl, thus fully rendering her persona non grata with a broad swath of the population. Lawyer Eliza Carmody represents what the townspeople of Kinsale, Australia, consider to be the wrong side of a class-action suit against an electric company they deem responsible for starting a fatal bushfire. I’m going to bring it out of retirement this month, however, for Aoife Clifford’s Second Sight, which is indeed-wait for it-gripping. This is not a directive I arrived at easily, having already (ab)used that word 12,587 times before, give or take. “Do not use the word gripping,” I admonish myself when writing this column each month. ![]()
