Murder on an Irish Farm

Irish Village Mysteries, Book 8

De: Carlene O'Connor

Narrado por: Caroline Lennon

In USA Today best-selling author Carlene O’Connor’s eighth Irish Village Mystery, the long-engaged garda of County Cork, Ireland, Siobhán O’Sullivan and Macdaras Flannery, are about to get married at last. But just as the rowdy O’Sullivan brood and all the regulars of the local bistro have gathered at the church, the nuptials come to an abrupt halt when the discovery of an unidentified skeleton puts the wedding on pause....

If only her mother could be here! The entire O’Sullivan brood - not to mention the regulars from Naomi’s Bistro - have gathered at St. Mary’s Church for the wedding of Siobhán and Macdara. It’s not every day you see two garda marrying each other. Only Siobhán’s brother James is missing. They can’t start without him.

But when James finally comes racing in, he’s covered in dirt and babbling he’s found a human skeleton in the old slurry pit at the farmhouse. What farmhouse? Macdara sheepishly admits he was saving it as a wedding surprise: He purchased an abandoned dairy farm. Duty calls, so the engaged garda decide to put the wedding on hold to investigate.

James leads them to a skeleton clothed in rags that resemble a tattered tuxedo. As an elderly neighbor approaches, she cries out that these must be the remains of her one true love who never showed up on their wedding day, 50 years ago. The garda have a cold case on their hands, which heats up the following day when a fresh corpse appears on top of the bridegroom’s bones. With a killer at large, they need to watch their backs - or the nearly wedded couple may be parted by death before they’ve even taken their vows....

Good

Story was entertaining, but not my favorite of the series. I found it a bit predictable at the end and a few loose ends were left. Also, some of the characters were tiresome. The reader does a superb job as always.

Murder on an Irish Farm

Enjoyed the twists & turns of the story Back with the OSullivan gang for the 4th time

Wonderful!

This is the next installment in the Irish Murder Mysteries, and it does not disappoint! I am fully vested in the O’Sullivan family and their feisty community. Start from the beginning and enjoy the experience, and the recipes. I eagerly look forward to the next volume. Author and narrator are a perfect pair. Caroline Lennon is our leading lady to a tee! Bravo and keep them coming please!

Another great story

In keeping with previous novels, the Irish characters are very delightful and the story interesting.

Love the series

I love that the voice has an accent and does different voices for different characters. The story is good and easy to follow.

Always good!

Love the sweetness of the story and characters. The humor is great, except for the stares as you LOL in public. The recipes at the end are a great touch! I love the story line and characters. I feel like I am right with them as the events unfold.

Love the O’Sullivans!

Best book of the series. Interesting story and characters, lots of clues to keep one guessing until the end!

Excellent Series
