Little Bones

Cat Connolly, Book 1

By: Sam Blake

Narrated by: Aoife McMahon

Meet Cathy Connolly - cop, kickboxing champion and now a soon-to-be mother....

Detective Garda Cathy Connolly's life has taken an unexpected turn. Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, Cathy's trying to decide how she's going to balance motherhood with the very real dangers of life on the job, especially when her latest case isn't as straightforward as it first appears.

Called to what seems like a routine break-in, Cathy discovers the bones of a baby concealed in the hem of an old wedding dress. When the dress' original owner, Lavinia Grant, is found dead in a Dublin suburb, Cathy is drawn deep into a complex web of secrets and lies spun by three generations of women.

Meanwhile, a fugitive killer has already left two dead in execution style killings across the Atlantic - and now he's in Dublin with old scores to settle. Can the team track him down before he kills again? Struggling with her own secrets, Cathy doesn't know how dangerous - and personal - this case is about to become....

Amazing Suspense and Character Development!

This is the first time in a long while that an author so utterly pulled the rug out from under me with a truly clever plot twist! These characters are made for TV (and I mean that as a sincere compliment)...the players have layers of depth that can be teased out for many novels to come. Thank you, Sam Blake, for a true escape into the world of the Irish Guarda (or Guardi??). And as always, Aoife McMahon was brilliant in her narration...she truly brought your characters to life!

book 1

it was good, but a little confusing, I had trouble keeping the characters straight, and then the whole pregnancy thing, through the whole book the author has Steve as the one night, to much partying, stand. but then throws in another character almost at the end? who really is the father of the unborn. I just don't care for such subterfuge. I like a little mystery sure, but introducing the father of the baby at the very end? and having you think it was someone else's through the whole thing? why? had very little to do with this story really. there was no point. plus with the it ends, I bet she loses the baby anyway!
other than that part of this story. it was enjoyable.

Couldn’t stop listening -

BUT, I was not ready for it to end. Thought Emily and Tony would adopt Cat’s baby. At least it was not predictable. Great read. Looking forward to #2.

I love this narrator and the story

I've listened to a few of this narrators other books and gave this a shot. currently downloading book 2. I really enjoyed this book and all the sub stories with in.
