Murder on an Irish Farm
Carlene O'Connor
It's
Siobhán O'Sullivan's wedding day. She and Macdara Flannery are
finally ready to tie the knot. But before the ceremony can really get
started, it's interrupted by Siobhán's brother James. He's found a
body, a skeleton to be more precise, in a barn where he's been
working. So, of course, this means the wedding will have to be
postponed because Garda O'Sullivan and Detective Sergeant know they
will have to investigate.
While at the scene, they are met by
an elderly lady Gladys who lives next door to the property. As soon
as she gets sight of the skeleton, she knows it's the true love of
her life. The man who left her standing at the altar fifty years ago,
the man she never forgot, even though she married his best friend.
When another body turns up in the same place, O'Sullivan and Flannery
know they are not dealing with a cold case. There is a killer still
lurking in their midst. Before they can find this killer and get back
to their own wedding, they will have to unravel a host of family
secrets and decipher old and new clues.
Murder on an Irish
Farm is a fun and entertaining story. It's full of twists and turns,
comic scenes, and two wonderful main characters who feel like
friends. I think the sense of community makes this such a pleasure to
read. One feels almost like a village member as we follow O'Sullivan
and Flannery in their day-to-day work. O'Connor has created an
enticingly cozy atmosphere and a story that is hard to put down. I
can't wait to read the next installment.
Thanks to Kensington Books for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
