Fiction. Literature. Mystery. 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 . . .… (more)

Fun, really cozy mystery set in very small village in Ireland around 2010. There is a genealogical connection but no real research to solve the mystery. Genealogists will find some of the dialog involving explanations of terms peculiar to Ireland familiar from articles on "How to Research in Ireland". It is the first in a series so I will be looking for the next book to find out what happens next for the main characters.

An adequate cozy, light on the mystery aspect. But I enjoyed memories of Cork and some bits and pieces of Irish countryside (and its experience for an American) rang true and made me laugh. ( )

I so liked this book! Lots of interesting tidbits about Ireland and the Irish. I will definitely read the series...if there is one. ( )

This book is wonderful! Some travel. Some life changes. A family mystery. And all done smoothly and intelligently. No silliness. I'm already reaching for the next one. ( )

This was another one were it felt that there wasn't really much of a mystery... just a girl who fell into a strange situation. Couldn't get into the story of care about the characters much. ( )
