Publisher's summary

In USA Today best-selling author Carlene O’Connor’s eighth Irish Village Mystery, the long-engaged garda of County Cork, Ireland, Siobhán O’Sullivan and Macdaras Flannery, are about to get married at last. But just as the rowdy O’Sullivan brood and all the regulars of the local bistro have gathered at the church, the nuptials come to an abrupt halt when the discovery of an unidentified skeleton puts the wedding on pause....

If only her mother could be here! The entire O’Sullivan brood - not to mention the regulars from Naomi’s Bistro - have gathered at St. Mary’s Church for the wedding of Siobhán and Macdara. It’s not every day you see two garda marrying each other. Only Siobhán’s brother James is missing. They can’t start without him.

But when James finally comes racing in, he’s covered in dirt and babbling he’s found a human skeleton in the old slurry pit at the farmhouse. What farmhouse? Macdara sheepishly admits he was saving it as a wedding surprise: He purchased an abandoned dairy farm. Duty calls, so the engaged garda decide to put the wedding on hold to investigate.

James leads them to a skeleton clothed in rags that resemble a tattered tuxedo. As an elderly neighbor approaches, she cries out that these must be the remains of her one true love who never showed up on their wedding day, 50 years ago. The garda have a cold case on their hands, which heats up the following day when a fresh corpse appears on top of the bridegroom’s bones. With a killer at large, they need to watch their backs - or the nearly wedded couple may be parted by death before they’ve even taken their vows....

Good

Story was entertaining, but not my favorite of the series. I found it a bit predictable at the end and a few loose ends were left. Also, some of the characters were tiresome. The reader does a superb job as always.

Wonderful!

This is the next installment in the Irish Murder Mysteries, and it does not disappoint! I am fully vested in the O’Sullivan family and their feisty community. Start from the beginning and enjoy the experience, and the recipes. I eagerly look forward to the next volume. Author and narrator are a perfect pair. Caroline Lennon is our leading lady to a tee! Bravo and keep them coming please!

Love the Mystery and the Characters

Mysteries are well thought out, similarities to Agatha’s mystery development. Keep you engaged because when you think you know, you start to rethink your hypothesis.
