Publisher's summary

A tranquil Irish vacation, music, scenery, food...and a priest on the run from the mob.

The sequel to the number-one best seller, The Tour.

When a shadowy couple turn up on Conor O'Shea's grand tour of Ireland, the tranquility of Ireland's landscape acts as a shelter against the stormy reality of the life they left behind. On the run from a notorious mob boss, this mysterious couple flees the US in search of sanctuary on the shores of the Emerald Isle, hoping to blend in with the tourists. In their wake lies a mafia family's secrets and a scarred priest torn between his duty to the cloth and to the truth.

Intriguing and uniquely consuming, Father Declan Sullivan's tale of destiny and duty lies at the feet of those he has betrayed. Can distance and deliverance save the innocent in their desperate pursuit for peace, or will evil catch up to them all?

In Safe at the Edge of the World, author Jean Grainger captures the soothing beauty of Ireland in the lives of those fleeing a criminal bent on revenge.

A paean to rationalization

The writing was great and the storyline intriguing but it is astonishing to see that much rationalization for behavior. It’s kind of a different twist on “the devil made me do it.” Here it is “God made me do it.”

Tour Guide life

Connor has the craziest of tour groups! This was another enjoyable tour with more twists and turns than a mountain road.

The story was great, but...

This narrarator has a wonderful selection of m as ke voices from which to draw, but his female repertoire is sorely lacking in believability.

darling story

l love these books and I'm working my way thru all the series, but for the first time I'm disappointed with the narrator. His American/New York accents were terrible! I hated the accent he used for Declan, made his sound like an uneducated idiot.

I loved it! It was as though I was there!

I loved it. I thought it was a charming story. I was enthralled and I couldn't put it down. Some of the character voices were annoying but it wasn't enough to put me off.
