Murder in an Irish Churchyard by Carlene O'Connor

3.0

Not my favorite of the Irish Village Mystery, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I picked this read out as a comfort read, needing some escape from the darkness spreading across the world. I really enjoy this series, especially because I read it as an audiobook, and the narrator has an Irish accent. Ireland is certainly a place of comfort to me.

I guess I didn't love this one as I did the others because there wasn't enough of the family in it. I'm used to seeing them a lot more. It also felt short. Maybe the Americans didn't help it either, I'm trying to escape America, not hear more of it!

However, the story was interesting and one that many Irish Americans can relate to. The murder victim (an Irish American), visited Ireland with his family to "right a great wrong." Now, I won't give the spoilers away, but it was very interesting. Lots of family drama.

I will certainly read the next, I just hope it's more settled in Ireland and has Siobhan's family and the townspeople involved.
