All the Old Clocks

De: R. P. O'Donnell

Narrado por: Ailish Jeffers

Ireland, 1988. Storm Cordelia rages through the village of Kilcraven.

Still reeling from a devastating love affair and the collapse of a promising career in the Gardaí, Emma Daly is stuck. She's moved back in with her dad and taken a job as a librarian in Kilcraven, the small West Cork village she thought she left behind.

But when Emma witnesses a murder and the local police arrest the wrong man for the crime, she's forced to act. To prove a man innocent, she must sift through the village's past – all its secrets and gossip and complexity – before either the police or the murderer can stop her. She's joined by a stubborn widow, an elderly hypochondriac and a charming ex-boyfriend – but quickly finds herself at the centre of a mystery that threatens to tear the whole village apart.
