About this listen

Bostonian Maura is beginning to feel settled in her new Irish home, just in time for summer tourist season to bring fresh business to her pub. But the first traveler to arrive is thirsty for more than just a pint of Guinness. Althea Melville is hot on the trail of a long-lost Van Dyck painting. Maura agrees to help Althea meet with the residents at the local manor house, the most likely location of the missing art. But when the manor's gardener is found murdered, Maura wonders what Althea's real motives are. Now, to solve the secret of the lost portrait and catch a killer, Maura will have to practice her Irish gift of gab and hunt down some local history-before someone else is out of the picture...

Plot that moves fast

The plot was well written and moved quickly. The characters and local color were enjoyable
The Boston accent on the main character was atrocious. I like the series but think I’ll read rather then listen to the next one

Love these unique mysteries set in rural Ireland

Ms Connolly surely has come up with a different locale, interesting folks and a heroine that is a delight. Please keep them coming!

Accents

The accents were horrible, the last two books are great but the reader hurts my ears to listen to.

Another great listen

I liked this book as much, if not more than Sheila Connelly's first County Cork Mystery. The narration is very good and the story was interesting. I only gave the story four stars because of the repetition, but it's still worth purchasing. I just bought the third in the series and am anxious to start listening.

Good cast

Sometimes hard to keep track of people and who is related to who. Storyline is complicated sometime

This is a great series

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Shiela Connolly has a talent for blending the past and present together without being confusing or uninteresting. The pace is good and the characters are developing realistically. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

I really like this series

Everything good about this one. I love the accents and the descriptions of the places. I really like how Maura has matured since she arrived in Ireland. The mystery was good and the characters even better.
