Buried in a Bog

By Sheila Connolly

Book Overview

New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly introduces the first novel in the County Cork mystery series--set in a small village in Ireland where buried secrets are about to rise to the surface...

Honoring the wish of her late grandmother, Maura Donovan visits the small Irish village where her Gran was born--though she never expected to get bogged down in a murder mystery. Nor had she planned to take a job in one of the local pubs, but she finds herself excited to get to know the people who knew her Gran.

In the pub, she's swamped with drink orders as everyone in town gathers to talk about the recent discovery of a nearly one-hundred-year-old body in a nearby bog. When Maura realizes she may know something about the dead man--and that the body's connected to another, more recent, death--she fears she's about to become mired in a homicide investigation. After she discovers the death is connected to another from almost a century earlier, Maura has a sinking feeling she may really be getting in over her head...

Could not put down!

If you like cozy mysteries and have always been interested in Ireland, this is the series for you. I saw it and thought I would check out Book #1 and I was reading with one eye until I was done #1 and then onto #2 now. Maura comes to Ireland on a one week vacation to see the land and the village where her gran grew up before moving to Boston. Her experiences and plans change as fast as sun-up and sundown! Wonderful depiction of village life in Ireland. You can almost see the village and all the characters who come to the Pub. Enjoy.
