Synopsis

The new Jesse O'Hara mystery, from the author of the acclaimed debut MURDER ON THE SPANISH SEAS, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Janet Evanovich!

Jesse O’Hara is unemployed. “A million dollar brain and a ten-cent personality,” her last employer said. With nothing better to do, Jesse accepts a request to go to Ireland to help a relative find his missing daughter. She expects to find the young woman quickly, and is looking forward to spending her trip touring and drinking, not necessarily in that order.


Once in Ireland, it’s clear to Jesse that the missing woman has met with foul play. In the course of her investigation she goes to greater and greater lengths to get to the truth, causing her to antagonize Ireland’s most dangerous drug kingpin, not to mention the IRA and the local gardai.


Aided by her near-photographic memory and dogged perseverance, Jesse is close to uncovering the truth, even as other people start to turn up dead. But she’s warned away from the investigation, and when she doesn’t back off, she’s threatened, attacked, and kidnapped. And when she is accused of murder, Jesse must use every ounce of wit and brainpower she has (left) to find a killer and not end up six feet under.

A wild ride through Ireland with the whip-smart, foodie, fearless Jessie! I am so excited that Wendy Church's bad-ass woman detective Jessie O'Hara headed back across the pond after her adventure in the Basque Country.

Goodreads review by George on May 07, 2025

WARNING!!! of two unforgivable missteps. The first chapter gives the mystery solution, complete w/ names and motive, for the first in the series. The second chapter unsnarls the uncertainties of the romance in that installment. For those, minus two stars and the WARNING!!! here. I'm going to complain b......more

Goodreads review by Beth on January 02, 2025

Wendy Church is my new favorite author. I love this series and can't wait for the next one. Her writing puts me right in the scene. As a member of an Irish family I felt like she was writing about my family. I haven't been to Sligo but the descriptions I have been. Both this book and Murder on the S......more
