Synopsis

Boston expat Maura Donovan came to Ireland to honor her grandmother's last wish, but she never expected to stay in provincial County Cork—much less to inherit a house and a pub, Sullivan's, in the small village of Leap. After a year-long struggle to stay in the black, Sullivan's is finally thriving, and Maura has even brought back traditional Irish music to the pub. With a crop of new friends and a budding relationship with handsome Mick Nolan, Maura's life seems rosier than ever—but even in Ireland, you can't always trust your luck.

It begins with Maura's discovery of a body in the ravine behind the pub. And then, the Irish gardaí reveal that the victim's face has been battered beyond recognition. Who is the faceless victim? Who wanted him dead? And why was his body dumped in the backyard of Sullivan's Pub? Even after the dead man is finally given a name, nobody admits to knowing him. In the tight-knit world of Leap, no one is talking—and now it's up to Maura to uncover the dark secrets that lurk beneath the seemingly quiet town.

Laced with warm Irish charm, a delightful small-town setting, and a colorful cast of characters, New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly's seventh County Cork mystery, The Lost Traveller, conspires to delight.

Goodreads review by Angela on February 19, 2019

Well, let me start by saying I have really enjoyed this series.

Sheila Connolly's 7th book in the Country Cork Mystery Series, The Lost Traveller, comes out in January, but I had the opportunity to read it over the last week. I absolutely loved it.

Goodreads review by Christine on December 30, 2018

Now I remember why I have skipped reading books 2-6 in this series. For someone who has lived in Boston, Maura Donovan is naive and disorganized. She doesn't know how to use a computer and knows nothing about business finances. I'm tired of twenty-somethings who do not now how to cook, but think the......more

Goodreads review by Kaitlyn on January 12, 2019

An enjoyable read with lots of atmosphere, as all of the novels in this series are, but (also with all of them) there isn't a whole lot of clever detecting going on. The mysteries surrounding the murder are all unraveled by the end of the book, but (by my definition) Maura doesn't actually solve the......more
