-provoking of Irish novels
published in the last few years, and Mr. Birmingham's new book is
a worthy successor. Once more the admirable red-haired curate, "J.
J.," appears, and his wild energy turns a peaceful neighbourhood
into a hotbed of intrigue and suspicion. The story tells how he
discovers in a harmless lady novelist, seeking quiet for her work,
a murderess whose trial had been a _cause celebre_. He forms a
scheme of marrying the lady to the local bore, in the hope that
she may end his career. Once started on the wrong tack, he works
out his evidence with convincing logic, and ties up the whole
neighbourhood in the toils of his misconception. The book is full
of the wittiest dialogue and the most farcical situations. It will
be as certain to please all lovers of Irish humour as the immortal
"Experiences of an Irish R. M."
