When a new bookstore in the County Cork Irish village of Kilbane closes the book on an author's life, it's up to Garda Siobh?n O'Sullivan to resolve the story... Between training the new town garda and trying to set a wedding date with her fianc?, Macdara Flannery, Siobh?n is feeling a bit overwhelmed. But an author event at the new bookstore featuring Irish writers taking up residency in Kilbane offers a welcome distraction. One author, Deirdre Walsh, spends more time complaining about the unfairness of the publishing industry and megastar bestselling authors like Nessa Lamb instead of her own body of work. After the evening ends in a battle of words, Deirdre's body is found the next day in the back of the store--with pages torn from Nessa's books stuffed in her mouth. Now, Siobh?n must uncover which of Kilbane's literary guests took Deirdre's criticisms so personally they engaged in foul play...
I really didn't care for this series. A romance between the garda seems inappropriate and something that should have been stopped as soon as it became obvious. The couple themselves should have put a stop to it either by stopping the relationship or one of them moving to a different occupation.
