Publisher's summary

The small village of Kilbane is hosting a poker tournament at the local pub, and card sharp Eamon Foley, a tinker out of Dublin, is set to win the tournament. But when Foley is found at the end of a rope, it’s time for the garda to take matters into their own hands.

Macdara Flannery would lay odds it’s a simple suicide, but Siobhán suspects foul play, as does Foley’s pregnant widow. Perhaps one of Foley’s fellow finalists just raised the stakes to life and death. With conflicting theories on the crime, tensions are running high. Soon it’s up to Siobhán to call a killer’s bluff, but if she doesn’t play her cards right, she may be the next one taken out of the game.

Excellent Who Done It in the grand old style

Another fun mystery from Carlene O'Connor! Garda O'Sullivan once again proves her high ability to decipher unsolvable mysteries. I love the way she thinks and that the village feels safe, if not compelled, to whisper to her with gossip and hidden clues.
This series has been a true delight. The narration by Caroline Lennon is seamless and brings to life the sibtleties of the characters.
I was smiling to beat the band at the homage to a classic Christie reveal.
I finished this book in record time and eagerly await the next installment.

Interesting Characters, Old Fashioned Murder Mystery murder

This is literally a locked room murder mystery. I like the characters, and descriptions of a small Irish village.

Caroline Lennon is the perfect
Performer for this book. Her Irish accent and style of speaking is perfect for me.

Kudos for murder in an Irish pub

I delayed reading this book because I knew once I started reading it would be over too soon. Once again the characters jumped out at you and welcome you into their latest adventure. Filled with humor, intrigue and images of the Irish countryside I challenge anyone who reads this book not to be hooked

What a Gamble

I loved the narration. Can’t have an Irish story without the Irish language. Several twists in the tale, and a female detective. Enjoyed it all.

The Narrator is Essential

Plot moves quickly enough, and red herrings are plentiful, and characters have a little meat on their bones. But for me, the authenticity of an Irish accent for an Irish setting is the ticket.

You will enjoy every minute of this Mystery 5/5

This is a true "who done it" murder mystery. Applause to Caroline Lennon's narration. Her ability to bring Carlene O'Connor's writing to life is a gift. What a great team.

I will buy more from this series

Fun listen

Fun listen. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration as well, with an authentic Irish accent and good American accent, and enough of a change between women's and men's voices to keep the story running clearly without being corny. Realistic dialog, especially notable between the children, who act and talk like real kids everywhere. I love the characters. All the books in this series are quite fun, but, alas, I have finished them all. Waiting for a new one!
