Synopsis


Honoring the wish of her late grandmother, Maura Donovan visits the small Irish village where her Gran was born—though she never expected to get bogged down in a murder mystery. Nor had she planned to take a job in one of the local pubs, but she finds herself excited to get to know the people who knew her Gran.

In the pub, she's swamped with drink orders as everyone in town gathers to talk about the recent discovery of a nearly one-hundred-year-old body in a nearby bog. When Maura realizes she may know something about the dead man—and that the body's connected to another, more recent, death—she fears she's about to become mired in a homicide investigation. After she discovers the death is connected to another from almost a century earlier, Maura has a sinking feeling she may really be getting in over her head . . .

If you're of Irish descent as I am, this cozy mystery is an extra delight to read. There's lots of Irish culture, lore, and history along with a nifty mystery. Throw in a plucky heroine, and what's there not to like?......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on September 02, 2018

This is the first entry in a new cozy mysteries series. I liked the set up: young Irish-American visits her grandmother's area in Ireland and gets to know the locals quickly. The problem with the book was that it was just too cozy, there wasn't enough action. Hopefully, this will be corrected in fut......more

Goodreads review by Ronna on March 18, 2014

I really enjoy Sheila Connolly's apple orchard cozies, so I was interested in reading her Irish County Cork Mysteries to see how she would do with an Irish cozy. Well, I'm hooked! Book one introduces Maura Donovan, who has just come to Ireland to seek out her family after her last relative, her belo......more

Goodreads review by Elise on August 11, 2013

My low rating for this book is primarily because this is not a mystery. It is Sheila Connolly's personal love letter to Ireland and more reminiscent of Debbie Macomber than Agatha Christie.
