Summary

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....

Great narrator

Murder mystery set in Ireland. What’s not to like? The narration was fantastic, I’m
Not normally a great lover of the female
Narrators but this last was perfect for me. Her voices were just right.
The story of a recently bereaved daughter of an ex Galway citizen gets caught up with the not so bright Garda and a little bit of boy meets girl makes this the perfect easy listen. I hope I can find another one like this.

It was ok

Galway is a big city so found it improbable that by third pub she found the address of the person she wanted to , did get a bit bored by the end .

Easy listen

I enjoyed this,, though I did find myself wishing the narrator hadn't made so many conversations so argumentative in tone. It made a lot of exchanges feel more confrontational or stressed than needed. I also felt the plot was a little predictable. But overall, I enjoyed it and liked the Irish setting.
