Murder Beyond the Pale

by Wendy Church

Book Overview

A fast-paced thriller set along the Wild Atlantic Way in which smart-mouthed sleuth Jesse O'Hara investigates a missing girl case - with deadly consequences

Jesse, the ever fiery ex-financial investigator with a penchant for Guinness, is still unemployed. So when her brother-in-law begs her to fly to Ireland and help his family find his missing niece Cait, Jesse seizes the opportunity to visit her own ancestral home. She isn't sure where the investigation will lead - ideally to the nearest whiskey distillery - but first things first: find Cait.

Upon landing in the Emerald Isle, Jesse's skills are immediately put to the test. Cait has vanished without a trace, and those who know her are harbouring secrets that could save her life. But as Jesse investigates further, she risks antagonizing local drug lords, the Garda and the formidable IRA, putting herself in perilous danger.

With time running out, Jesse must trust her razor-sharp instincts if she wants to make it out of Ireland alive . . .

The second novel in the riveting Jesse O'Hara series is perfect for readers of Ruth Ware, Darynda Jones and Janet Evanovich. Thriller fans who love a strong female protagonist, unexpected twists and wry humor are in for a treat
