Acerca de esta escucha
An unforgettable new female detective bursts onto the audio scene in this historical mystery series set in 1920’s Ireland, featuring the Reverend Mother Aquinas. Read by Audie award-winning narrator Rosalyn Landor.
A dead body washed up after a flood dressed in evening finery is not a sight often seen in the slums of Cork city, Ireland.
When Reverend Mother Aquinas discovers the body at the gate of the convent chapel she teams up with former pupil, Police Sergeant Patrick Cashman and Dr Sher, a physician and friend to find out who the woman was - and who killed her.

London, 1922. Between gallivanting in his Rolls-Royce and darkening the doorways of London's hotspots, Lord Reginald "Rex" Bankes-Fernsby has almost succeeded in banishing the battlefield nightmares that plague his sleep. Pity he can't say the same about that nagging lack of direction in his life. If only he were like his best friend Freddie—self-assured, suave, and up to his ears in secrets. But when Freddie is murdered, Rex doubts the verdict. Was Freddie really cut down while up to no good, or was he killed in the line of duty?

It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A child is taken by her father to live with relatives on a farm, not knowing when or if she will be brought home again. In the Kinsellas' house, she finds an affection and warmth she has not known and slowly, in their care, begins to blossom. But there is something unspoken in this new household—where everything is so well tended to—and this summer must soon come to an end.

The private, quiet “Miss White" as Elinor is known, lives in a village in rural Kent, England, and to her fellow villagers seems something of an enigma. Well she might, as Elinor occupies a "grace and favor" property, a rare privilege offered to faithful servants of the Crown for services to the nation.

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

Bruno is a former soldier who has embraced the pleasures and slow rhythms of country life - living in his restored shepherd's cottage; patronizing the weekly market; sparring with, and basically ignoring, the European Union bureaucrats from Brussels. He has a gun but never wears it; he has the power to arrest but never uses it. But then the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army changes everything and galvanizes Bruno's attention.

Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

In We Don't Know Ourselves, Fintan O'Toole weaves his own experiences into Irish social, cultural, and economic change, showing how Ireland, in just one lifetime, has gone from a reactionary "backwater" to an almost totally open society - perhaps the most astonishing national transformation in modern history. O'Toole narrates the once unthinkable collapse of the all-powerful Catholic Church, brought down by scandal and by the activism of ordinary Irish. He relates the horrific violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which led most Irish to reject violent nationalism.

His name was Feliks. He came to London to commit a murder that would change history. A master manipulator, he had many weapons at his command, but against him were ranged the whole of the English police, a brilliant and powerful lord, and the young Winston Churchill himself. These odds would have stopped any man in the world - except the man from St. Petersburg.

A wonderful new mystery series! I loved it!
This is absolutely wonderful! Rosalyn Landor's performance is as good as ever - she is a fantastic narrator - has won numerous awards including the Audie award and this story was absolutely fascinating. I am a huge fan of murder mysteries and I LOVE Irish history. It's a delight from start to finish. High quality production. And a wonderful story. Could not stop listening until the end.

Enjoyable Irish fare
I usually have little patience for detective stories. I usually find crime tales quite boring. But this story was recommended by a friend as I prepare for a trip to Ireland. In this respect the story was very successful. It’s a lightweight book. No character development and nothing new. But it has a lot of charming and very Irish characters. The leading mind is a mother superior at an elementary school in a very poor neighborhood. Other ‘solvers’ are her former students.

There is no better narrator than Rosalyn Landor!!!
On Audible, narration makes or breaks the story. Rosalyn Landor is sooo great! She can do most accents, & makes one forget about the narrator, which makes the story far more interesting! It is the sign of a great narrator, if she makes herself forgettable, because then a person solely focus' on the character. I can almost not listen to any other narrator, Landor is so wonderful! She is the ONLY narrator I have listened to who can accurately do a man's voice. She is the Ella Fitzgerald of the narrator's!! She did this entire book with a perfect Irish accent! Every word of this story was with an Irish accent. I've heard her do many other accents, too - like Spanish, French, and more, and they are all perfect!!! I love her narration!!!!!
