About this listen

Snow is a rarity in Maura Donovan's small village in County Cork, Ireland, so she wasn't sure what to expect when a major snowstorm rolled in around Sullivan's pub. But now she's stranded in a bar full of patrons - and a suspected killer in a long-ago murder.

Maura's been in Ireland less than a year and hasn't heard about the decades-old unsolved crime that took place nearby, let alone the infamous suspect, Diane Caldwell. But the locals have, and they're not happy to be trapped with her. Diane, meanwhile, seeks to set the record straight, asserting her innocence after all this time. And since no one is going anywhere in the storm, Maura encourages Diane to share her side of the story, which she'd never had a chance to do in court.

Over the next few hours, the informal court in Sullivan's reviews the facts and theories about the case - and comes to some surprising conclusions. But is it enough to convince the police to take a new look at an old case?

A clever spin on the classic locked-room mystery, Cruel Winter, the fifth in New York Times best-selling author Sheila Connolly's series, will delight fans of the Emerald Isle.

Cold case at fireside mystery

This tale was much better than I though5, fully developed individual#, bad winter storm, travellers str@nded overnightin an Irish pub. Voices were individual too , which added so much. My interest never lagged, couldn’t wait to finish a well told, credible story. Narrator was just right, Goldilocks voice! Great listening on a winters night!

A bar serving up justice

In the cruel of winter an accused but not tried woman gets her chance to plead her case to pub patrons and a Garda as they are all trapped during a wicked winter storm. Loved the pub-style courtroom drama as the truth pours out and the real murderous villain is revealed.
