Editorial Review:
Product Description:
An unexplained drowning...a muddy fall. A chain of unexpected events, a discovery and an ancient secret threaten the future. The story begins with a rainy funeral in Dublin in 1912. It tells how a very traditional, Western Irish sheep raising family learn of a secret holding them to their land and to an ancient promise. In the process of unexpected discovery they must put aside personal insecurities and failings and open up their lives to defend themselves. A devious plan hatched by a greedy academic attempts to reveal their secret to the world for his own gain. This they must prevent at all cost. Their good humored manner of removing obstacles, both figurative and solid, reminds the reader that not all sources of strength are apparent. Despite loss and fear, they learn that help can come from sources seen and unseen, as they discover their place in the greater world.

I truly enjoyed this book. I have been reading Irish fiction lately, and this one fit right in. Well written, intriguing and enjoyable. Looking forward to his follow up novel, The Gatekeepers, which is mentioned in the end of the book.

Even my wife said this book has never been edited because of all the writing errors. The story is good but with all the typo's it's hard to read. After I read The Red Gate, I found it exciting and an interesting story. The author weaves the tale and then takes you to a fantastic ending. It's a great read and I can't wait until the second book comes out.

The plot is original, well crafted and each character is brought to life in a special way. There is tragedy, love, emotion. So much but yet nothing falls flat. No reader will be disappointed with this first book by Mr. Sutton and they ... Read More
