Publisher Description
National bestselling and Agatha Award-nominated author Sheila Connolly introduces a brand-new series set in a small village in County Cork, Ireland, where buried secrets are about to rise to the surface...
Honoring the wish of her late grandmother, Maura Donovan visits the small Irish village where her Gran was born—though she never expected to get bogged down in a murder mystery. Nor had she planned to take a job in one of the local pubs, but she finds herself excited to get to know the people who knew her Gran.
In the pub, she’s swamped with drink orders as everyone in town gathers to talk about the recent discovery of a nearly one-hundred-year-old body in a nearby bog. When Maura realizes she may know something about the dead man—and that the body’s connected to another, more recent, death—she fears she’s about to become mired in a homicide investigation. After she discovers the death is connected to another from almost a century earlier, Maura has a sinking feeling she may really be getting in over her head...
Customer Reviews
nice but not earthshakingb
in baseball terms, dorothy Sayers stepped up to the plate rarely but hit homeruns almost every times. Agatha Christie played allot more, but most often hit doubles. This book is a double. A good, solid, double. Expect a good mystery but nothing at all uncomfortable. The best mysteries, though, do step outside that comfort zone just a little bit. This doesn't. It also hits the formula a bit too obviously..
Good read
A wonderful story about finding family and search for a killer. I want to read more!
Buried in a Bog
Some books draw you in and you are sad to see them end.
This isn't one of those books.
Part personal journey, part panegyric to the simple life in the old country, part murder mystery, the author manages to make them all interminably boring.
