Publisher Description
Kilbane has a new garda, and her first case is a grave matter indeed...
After solving two murders in the County Cork village of Kilbane, Siobhán O’Sullivan has accepted her calling and decided to join the Garda Síochána. The O’Sullivan clan couldn’t be prouder, but there’s no time to celebrate as she’s already on another case, summoned by the local priest who just found a dead man in the St. Mary’s graveyard—aboveground.
He’s a stranger, but the priest has heard talk of an American tourist in town, searching for his Irish ancestor. As Siobhán begins to dig for a motive among the gnarled roots of the victim’s family tree, she will need to stay two steps ahead of the killer or end up with more than one foot in the grave.
A gripping cosy Irish mystery, perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands and Margaret Mayhew.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of O'Connor's captivating third Irish Village mystery (after 2017's Murder at an Irish Wedding), Father Kearney summons Siobh n O'Sullivan, who's about to start her first day at Kilbane Gardai Station, to St. Mary's Churchyard, where the body of a man lies in the snow. Someone fatally shot the victim, later identified as American Peter Mallon, the patriarch of the wealthy Mallon family. Fingers point to everyone involved with filming a documentary in Kilbane about the Mallons' Irish heritage. Siobh n is dismayed to discover that she must report directly to her ex-boyfriend Det. Sgt. Macdara Flannery, who's been temporarily called up from Dublin to help close the case. They forge an uneasy partnership as they question suspects and uncover a tangled web of brotherly betrayal and unresolved heartbreak. Fans of light mysteries with an Irish flavor will look forward to Siobhan and Macdara's further adventures.
