Synopsis

Follow Father Tim and Cynthia on their journey to research his Kavanagh ancestry in the Irish countryside.
 
Vacation—the very word has been foreign to Episcopal priest Tim Kavanagh. Now retired from tending his flock in the village of Mitford, he is making good on a promise to show his wife, Cynthia, the charming land of his Irish ancestors. But after arriving at a Lough Arrow fishing lodge in the midst of a torrential downpour, the charm disappears.

They find their holiday upended by an intruder, a treasured painting is stolen from the lodge, and a family conflict dating back nearly a century turns even more bitter. As three generations struggle to find deliverance from the crucifying power of secrets, Tim and Cynthia stumble upon a faded journal that might just explain the crime—and offer a chance at redemption.

Goodreads review by Kathrine on January 07, 2011

After reading all the Mitford books, this book did not hold a candle. I agree with the other reviews that it was plodding and confusing. when I saw a page with journal, I dreading reading that part. The journal really didn't add to the overall plot. I didn't keep the characters & their relationships......more
