My twelve-year-old daughter frequently moans that Ballycarrick is the most boring town in Ireland. Nothing ever happens here. She’s right. And as the local police sergeant, this is something I’m delighted about. I’ve enough to worry about—the polar ice-caps, the evil monster that’s shrinking my trousers, not to mention the hot flushes—without having to be like one of those gritty Netflix cops, chasing criminals down alleyways and busting drug deals.

So, life is calm and fairly predictable. Until something unthinkable happens in our sleepy backwater. A crime, but not like anything I've ever seen before. It's a complete mystery. And it's up to me to solve it.

This story was captivating from start to finish. Characters leap from the page with such individuality. The sense of place and plot were expertly crafted and I highly recommend Jean Grainger’s novels.

Amazing

The thing that I both like and dislike about Jean Grainger is that she's reliable. The good part is that you always know that you will get a wholesome, uncomplicated tale about an Irish family. The less good part is that it can be a little dull. But in a world filled with too much anger and drama, it's sometimes nice to go to a reliable author to get what you expect. There was actually an unexpected twist toward the end of this one, deviating from the reliable, but of course it all worked out (reliably) in the end. If you like Irish writers Jean Grainger is a good, current (did I mention reliable?!) writer.

Can't wait for more!

I’m 70 yrs old but I want to model myself more like the wonderful wise and ordinary woman whom you’ve portrayed. I’ve read all the series of Mag Monroe and the Tour. In both of these series you weave such a delicate picture of ordinary people with ordinary problems reacting with extraordinary resilience . Brava

I’m in love with the main character

The main character is very likable and also sometimes funny. It’s an easy short read. Reminded me a little bit of peaky blinders with all the information on “travelers”
Versus the “settled”. If I had once criticism it’s that while listening on audio some of the accents were simply very hard for me to understand and I struggled at times trying to figure out what was being said.

Solid

What a great book - wondered about it in the beginning but fell in love with main character Mags as she goes through her life and job as a police officer in Ireland and especially how she worked to make things better for women in the work place and in our world - looking forward to more reads from this author.

Happy to find this new author

Great listen but it is slow paced on the daily life of the guarda. Nice to learn nore about Ireland.

Narrator is great. Not a fast read.

This is the second time that I have listened to the story. I listen to it again because I just loved it. It was funny, but it was also serious. I know there is a third Max Monroe story, but it is not available yet in audible books I wish you would put the third book in Audible form pronto!

I love this book!

The story and reader are superb. Grainger shows the plight and prejudice toward travelers realistically. I look forward to getting another book by Jean Grainger.

Totally excellent
