Publisher Description
Murder has a way of killing business...
In the small village of Kilbane, County Cork in Ireland, Naomi’s Bistro has always been warm and welcoming. Nowadays, twenty-two-year-old Siobhán O’Sullivan runs the family bistro named for her mother, along with her five siblings, after the death of their parents in a car crash almost a year ago. It’s been a rough year for the O’Sullivans, but it’s about to get rougher.
One morning, as they’re opening the bistro, they discover a man seated at a table with a pair of hot pink barber scissors protruding from his chest. With the local garda suspecting the O’Sullivans, and their business in danger of being shunned, it’s up to Siobhán to solve the crime and save her beloved brood.
A charming Irish village mystery, perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands and Dee Macdonald.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Siobh n O'Sullivan, the feisty 22-year-old heroine of O'Connor's lively debut set in Kilbane, County Cork, Ireland, has been running the family bistro while taking care of her five siblings, who range in age from 10 to 24, since their parents died in a car crash. As the first anniversary of the fatal accident approaches, the family suffers another shock with the discovery of a dead man in their dining room, a pair of scissors jutting from his chest. James, the eldest brother, turns up later, battered and bloody, with no recollection of the previous night's events. When James becomes the prime suspect, Siobh n determines to clear his name, but she must stay one step ahead of a murderer who also calls Kilbane home. The cheeky and close-knit repartee among the O'Sullivans goes on too long at times, but their antics are sure to appeal to cozy fans, who will also appreciate the warmth and spirit of the people of Kilbane.
Customer Reviews
Murder in an Irish village
A very, very, good read very well written, with only the unfortunate use of some U.S. words to spoil the otherwise authentic Irish feel. The storyline was good, especially pleasing after I have been reading the Strike books recently.
