Story
Boston expat Maura Donovan has been getting accustomed to Irish living, complete with an inherited house and a pub named Sullivan’s. But now, her mother has returned - and she’s brought Maura’s half-sister in tow. To make matters more confusing, a handful of Cork University students are knocking on Maura’s door, asking about a mystical fairy fort that happens to be located on Maura’s piece of land. Then one of the students disappears after a day of scoping out the fort, and Maura uncovers a decades-old corpse.

Story
After calling Ireland home for six months, Boston expat Maura Donovan still has a lot to learn about Irish ways - and Sullivan's Pub is her classroom. Maura didn't only inherit a business, she inherited a tight-knit community. And when a tragedy strikes, it's the talk of the pub. A local farmer, out for a stroll on the beach with his young son, has mysteriously disappeared. Did he drown? Kill himself? The child can say only that he saw a boat.

Snow is a rarity in Maura Donovan's small village in County Cork, Ireland, so she wasn't sure what to expect when a major snowstorm rolled in around Sullivan's pub. But now she's stranded in a bar full of patrons - and a suspected killer in a long-ago murder. Maura's been in Ireland less than a year and hasn't heard about the decades-old unsolved crime that took place nearby, let alone the infamous suspect, Diane Caldwell.

After 15 years away, Kate Hamilton never expected to end up back in her hometown of Asheboro, Maryland, full time. And she definitely didn't expect to be leading the charge of recreating the town as a Victorian village and tourist attraction. The Barton mansion, meant to be the centerpiece of the Victorian village, has proven to be a veritable goldmine of documents about the town's 19th-century history, and Kate is convinced the papers hide something of value. Then a dead body turns up in the town library - mere hours before the documents were meant to arrive there themselves.

Publisher's Summary
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.

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!!

Maura’s attitude...
Maura is becoming a tough character to root for lately. She has been given a pub, car and cottage. Her “staff/friends” are constantly trying to help her yet she is rude and short with pretty much all of them. Her attitude of poor me is getting a bit too much to handle. I get it’s a cozy but I’d at least like to be able to root for the main character.

A Limerick is not always funny
Good as usual, but it doesn't grab and hold your interest as do her other books. The story appears to be put together like a pie. In that the idea is good and the filling starts out fairly well, but it starts falling apart when the top of the pie is being put on. It begins to tear. It's patched. It tears some more. It's finally 'fixed' with a 'lick n' a promise' then the leftover 'scraps of dough' are tossed inside and as part of the crust with the remaining as 'pub' decorations!

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.

awful
We have listened to all seven of this series
they haven't been great but good enough for a diversion
there have been seven murders in those books over 14 months of book time in a postage stamp village and we are told it is a quiet place where nothing ever happens
Maura seems to be less aware of relationships, cooking, purchasing basic things and how people live than a ten year old
this book was terrible the continuous repeating of the plot by Maura adds nothing to the story but adds pages to the book
this has been a regular problem in past books but seemed to be the only thing hanging this book together
the final resolution of the story only holds together if you have been drinking and live on another planet
i think this is a problem of needing to meet a contract by a deadline without a good story to tell
