"The Pig Did It" is a wonderful farce, set in Ireland. Aaron goes to Ireland to mourn a lost love, and gets caught up in a situation with his aunt--and a body found in her yard, and of course--the pig. Romance enters the picture--naturally! May be the funniest romantic story about--and would make a sparkling romantic comedy. It is laugh out loud funny, and so cleverly written. Can't wait for the other two books in the series.

If you like the comedic dialogue, mystery and surprise of "Arsenic and Old Lace" and exotic settings of Dame Agatha, you'll book a front row-seat for this one. Joseph Caldwell sets his vulnerable American protagonist on the rugged Irish coast and draws us into his tale with skill and charm. The mist and mysticism of coastal Ireland seep into Caldwell's instinctive description and fine ear for colloquial repartee. Here are memorable characters that flash with panache from a squealing snooping pig and lovelorn hero Aaron to his novelist Aunt who writes happy endings onto tragic classic novels. Trawling through Aunt Kitty's lively and deadly suitors that ebb and flow through a school of blue herring, we catch the depth of Caldwell's wisdom -- love is a mystery that makes unsuspecting victims of us all. As for the subsequent book of the Trilogy, I'm hooked.

Read out loud the very first few sentences of this book and you'll hear perfect writing - crisp, almost like poetry. In fact, if you heard the Poet Laureate, Seamus Heaney reading his translation of Beowulf, his voice will echo (and not just because he's Irish).
The story is very inventive and very original, which is saying a lot these days, and quite good. I could've enjoyed another few chapters, but the ending came about rather suddenly, and so that why I only gave it 4 stars. If I could, I would've scored it 4.5.
I look forward to Caldwell's subsequent book in this trilogy.

The Pig Did It by Joseph Caldwell describes Aaron McCloud's botched endeavor at mourning a woman who failed to live up to his romantic expectations. He journeys to Ireland to stay with his aunt, a woman who writes her "versions" of classic novels. He plans to spend his days walking the beach, dwelling over his female student who refused to love him (please note that he didn't love her, he just wanted her to love him). Upon arriving, Aaron's plans are immediately derailed after a rebellious pig sets his sights on tormenting him. The pig ends up unearthing a dead body on his aunt's property, which sets up the plot for the rest of the novel. There's plenty of Irish charm, including religious conflict, family pride and stubbornness. Caldwell leaves you with the message of not dwelling on things don't matter and that you are responsible for your destiny.
The novel is funny, interesting and light. My biggest critique is that it failed to live up to its potential; I feel that the characters and the relationships between them could have been paid a lot more attention. The book isn't even 200 pages; there was definitely room to develop personalities and events. Supposedly this is the very first of a trilogy, so maybe we'll get more information in the forthcoming books.

I was really disappointed in this story. It was a little funny at times, but overall I felt the author did not write a very good story. I would not reccomend it to my friends.
