Synopsis

If you want to disappear, start again, make a new life, a small Irish village is probably not the wisest place to go, since anonymity is not something we do well here.

The arrival of someone new is always a cause for twitching curtains and whispered conversations.

But here, like everywhere, people have their secrets, and as the local sergeant I’m expected to have my eyes peeled for anything unusual.

And I do.
Usually.
Until I don’t, and the consequences are potentially fatal.

Growing Wild in the Shade is another well written, entrancing book about Mags Monroe. I love both these books. I think Mags and I would be friends.

Goodreads review by Robin on July 13, 2022

Sit back and enjoy an easy comfortable read as you step into Ballycarrick, a small village of caring people in Ireland that we’d all like to be a part of!
