Synopsis
Art historian Nora Barnes and her husband, Toby Sandler, are visiting West Ireland for a family reunion. During a morning walk through a deserted village on Achill Island, Nora stumbles upon a body―her notorious uncle Bert. When a clue singles out her mother as the likely suspect, Nora and Toby are on the case to clear her name. Whether in a barroom brawl or the sauna of a swingers’ club, Toby has Nora’s back. As they search, the dead of Achill seem to speak from graveyards, ruined churches, and megalithic tombs. A second murder makes it all the more difficult to connect the dots. And when Nora and Toby become the next targets, their own survival is at stake.

Review
“A compelling novel that should please fans of the series and attract a new legion of readers, really anyone who enjoys a charming, classical mystery novel well told with a droll wit, compulsive readability, intelligence, and charm. Nora and Toby’s banter is delightful. I’d love to have this couple as friends!”―Michael Norman, author of Haunted Heartland
“A solid mystery, a story that demonstrates understanding of and compassion for the complexities of family ties, a lesson in Irish art and culture, and a very readable and fascinating history of the travails that plagued the ancient residents of this lonely landscape.”―Patricia Skalka, author of the Dave Cubiak Door County Mystery series
