About this listen

New Yorker Tara Meehan's first trip to Galway may be her last....

Tara never imagined her introduction to Ireland like this - carrying her mam's ashes to honor her final request: "Tell Johnny I'm sorry.... Take me home." She's never met her mam's estranged brother, Johnny Meehan, who owns an architectural salvage business in Galway. Although Tara is immediately charmed by the medieval city, the locals seem wary of strangers, and a gypsy warns her that death is all around.

When Tara arrives at her uncle's stone cottage, the prophesy seems true. A dead man lies sprawled over the threshold in a pool of blood. The victim turns out to be Johnny's wealthiest client, and her missing uncle is the Garda's number one suspect. In trying to find Johnny and solve the crime, Tara uncovers her mam and uncle's troubled past. But with a desperate killer about, she had better mind herself, or they'll be tossing her ashes in Galway Bay....

A lot of good story telling

This novel was a great read and a satisfying written plot line. The characters were really interesting and the story was very intriguing. Sadly the ending was not well written and completely spoiled the whole story. What was a good story ended with a flat ending.

5 stars all the way!

I am a fan of this author. I have listened to almost all of her books and this one was fabulous. Her stories are full of details about Ireland, the lives of each character and they are full of colour; you can easily picture each scene by her descriptions. Her other mystery collections are quirky and fun but this one has a more serious tone, still quirk and fun but different from her other books.

The narrator does a great job! I already started the 2nd book of this collection Murder in Connemar and I am enjoying it already.

Good book funny

I’m a fan of her Irish village mysteries. I like them because you can follow a large family. This is by the same author and has the same trademark style. Lots of twists and turns humourous and witty storytelling.

Great reader

Sometimes you know you wouldn’t have stuck with it, if it wasn’t for the narrator!

I can’t listen.

I made it to chapter 7 and just couldn’t take the narrator any longer. She voices females like petulant teenagers. I’m pretty sure that’s not how the author intended.
I really liked a book by this author so I’ll look for more by Carlene O’Connor that are read by someone other than Heather O’Neill.
