Resumen del Editor

Boston expat Maura Donovan came to Ireland to honor her grandmother's last wish, but she never expected to stay in provincial County Cork - much less to inherit a house and a pub, Sullivan's, in the small village of Leap. After a yearlong struggle to stay in the black, Sullivan's is finally thriving, and Maura has even brought back traditional Irish music to the pub. With a crop of new friends and a budding relationship with handsome Mick Nolan, Maura's life seems rosier than ever - but even in Ireland, you can't always trust your luck.

It begins with Maura's discovery of a body in the ravine behind the pub. And then the Irish gardai reveal that the victim's face has been battered beyond recognition. Who is the faceless victim? Who wanted him dead? And why was his body dumped in the backyard of Sullivan's Pub?

Even after the dead man is finally given a name, nobody admits to knowing him. In the tight-knit world of Leap, no one is talking - and now, it's up to Maura to uncover the dark secrets that lurk beneath the seemingly quiet town.

Laced with warm Irish charm, a delightful small-town setting, and a colorful cast of characters, New York Times best-selling author Sheila Connolly's seventh County Cork mystery, The Lost Traveller, conspires to delight.

Loved this series

Would love to have more of the County Cork Mysteries. The characters are wonderfully portrayed.

So enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this mystery. It didn’t follow the standard format of waiting until the last chapter or two to pull off the big reveal. It was more complicated, and I don’t want to give out spoilers, but it has a very satisfying ending. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series. And Amy Rubinstein is a fantastic reader and really brings the characters to life.

3 stars

I like this series but Maura gets on my nerves. business and house drops into her hands and she complains about learning how to run everything.

Very drawn out and nothing exciting

I am completely confused about the 4.4 rating this book has showing. This book was very drawn out. The author kept repeating supposed problems over and over and over (example: who to hire to work at the pub). The main character ranged from being really smart when discussing clues about the murder, to asking the most paranoid off the wall questions about everything else. She could not make up her mind about anything. There was NO excitement in this text, just drawn out discussion about who to hire to work at the pub, should the kitchen be fixed and who killed the man in the ravine.
Not worth the money unless you are looking for something to put you to sleep.

Excellent book.

The narrator is the best. I will be looking for books by this author and this narrator. Great characters and plot!

Great Book

I love this entire collection, it’s worth it to start from the first book and keep going! It’s a feel good mystery and well written and narrated.

Irish Gypsies, Music and Murder

This is probably my favorite series by Sheila Connolly, and book seven does not disappoint. All the regulars are at Sullivan's Pub and in the little town of Leap. I've grown to love them all. The romance between Maura and Mick Nolan is very sweet and not over done. When Maura discovers a dead body in the ravine behind the pub, it frightens everyone and hurts the pub's business. The strangest thing is that the Garda have on clue who the man is. This sets Maura on a search for not only who the killer is but who the victim is, as well. I love the ins and outs of this story, and the solution to the mystery is well worth waiting for.

great next addition

sheila's characters are funny and relatable. this book is no exception. I come from a small town so her characters where nothing is a secret is so relatable for me.

THE LOST TRAVELLER wins you over!

Sheila Connolly has another winner in THE LOST TRAVELLER. Continuing the County Cork saga with old friends and new, she weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue with a dash of Irish flair. I hope the wait for the next book is a very short one!!

County Cork Mystery series

Love all of the series. Start at the beginning and go through all of them.
