About this listen

A completely binge-worthy Irish cozy crime murder mystery

A grand castle, a glass of Irish whiskey, a good book by the fire… and a rather mysterious murder?

Historic Inishmore Castle is opening its doors for the first time, hosting a charming weekend of whiskey tasting and soda bread baking. Sisters Mercy and Lizzie McCarthy are badly in need of a break, but their relaxing trip takes a decidedly unrestful turn when Mercy finds fellow guest Father Brennen slumped over the desk in the library… Did he have one glass too many or did someone want him dead?

Even more curiously, Mercy swiftly learns that the priest was no priest at all. So why was he searching through dusty old journals? Can the legend of Inishmore’s lost treasure possibly be true?

Mercy’s suspicions of foul play are confirmed when another of their party is found drowned in the lake at the edge of the manor’s estate. It can’t be a coincidence! Someone in this idyllic Irish castle is up to no good and Mercy is determined to find out who’s behind it, accompanied by her reluctant fellow sleuth and beloved dog Mr. Poe.

With a host of frightened guests and worried staff, and a storm closing in, Mercy soon has more suspects than bedrooms in the castle. Could it be the unconvincing nun, the busybody birdwatcher, or are the owners hiding something sinister? When Mercy realises there are secret passages in the walls, she thinks she might have cracked the case… but will she track the killer down, or will Inishmore be her resting place forever more?

A completely delightful Irish cozy mystery, full of warmth and wit. Fans of Agatha Christie, Carlene O’Connor and Faith Martin will love Mercy McCarthy!

Repetitious, . Absurd and very, “slow witted”protagonist

Repetition. Trust your readers. Too much filler. Liked the dog and the setting and some of the characters.

Have mercy!

I stumbled upon this author and series recently and was delighted to see a new installment was scheduled for April 2025 release. I enjoy the setting and the characters who inhabit Sunshine Cove. If I’m being completely honest, I particularly like the tension and building relationship between Mercy (FMC) and Kieran (MMC) and the way their respective professions continue to intertwine. I like that the setting for this story moved us out of Sunshine Cove but still included the characters we’ve gotten to know well in the first two books. It was perhaps a bit contrived but it’s a cozy mystery so all is forgiven. My main gripe is how quickly the story wrapped up. The pacing of the story was fine until the end. I felt like more time could have been devoted to the culminating events in the castle. I liked the set up for future stories and, like the fool that I am, will eagerly await the next story in hopes that Ms. Connelly will take mercy on my middle-aged heart and give us a direct declaration of interest between the two main characters. Otherwise, I’m going to have to take up writing fan fiction! Of note, the performance was solid and I am looking forward to hearing more from both author and narrator.
