Dead in Dublin

Dublin Driver Mysteries, Book 1

By: Catie Murphy

Narrated by: Lucy Rayner

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty, murder occurs at the feet of sweet Molly Malone....

Ferrying tourists around Dublin for the Leprechaun Limo Service makes quite a change after years in the military. Still, Megan Malone is enjoying her life in Ireland. She likes the scenery, the easy pace, the quirky, quick-witted locals. Everything - except having one of her clients drop dead at the statue of fabled fishmonger, Molly Malone.

Most restaurant critics notch up their share of enemies. Elizabeth Darr, however, was a well-loved international star. She and her husband, Simon, had just had dinner when Elizabeth collapsed, and spoiled seafood is the first suspect. The restaurant's owner, worried her business is doomed, begs Megan to look into it. Between her irate boss and a handsome Garda who's both amused and annoyed by her persistence, Megan has her hands full even before she's cajoled into taking care of two adorable Jack Russell puppies (which she is almost definitely not keeping). But if cockles and mussels aren't to blame, can Megan find the real culprit...before another fishy death occurs?

Omg the narration is DISTRACTING

So the story is good but I can’t keep my attention on it because the narration is off somehow. It’s too slow or sing song. Or too dramatic . I’m not sure. Caroline Lennon style narration would’ve done the storytelling justice- a bit more straightforward and not so slow with a more natural delivery.

Megan's tenacity

Excellent read and the combination of Irish and American characters 👌 perfection! Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Good description of Ireland

I will listen to anything Ms. Rayner narrates.
She brings so much character to each character.
.

Great start to a new series

I throughly enjoyed this story. The narrator did a great job with the Irish voices however when speaking in her own voice has a funny cadence that can be distracting. I had to speed up the narration, otherwise all was great.

Ca girl

Liked story fast moving and twisting. But loved voice telling tale and my dogs listened too.
