I just love reading Irish stories especially this time of year. Why have I never read a Jean Grainger book before? Her writing is wonderful and the narrator of this book is really fabulous 馃檶 (I loved her voice and Irish brogue.) It's a short one. Just 6 hours but so much greatness packed in.

I love Mags! She's a Sergeant with the Garda (Irish Police) in her small town of Ballycarrick. She's married with two children and at 48 she's just started with, "The change." She's peri-menopausal. This is about Mags life, thoughts and the people and town around her. Mags is a strong but very kind hearted woman. She's always willing to help others. One day there is a murder in her tiny town that involves the travellers. I've never heard of this Irish group and enjoyed learning about them.

If you're looking for a good Irish story this month I highly recommend this one. You'll get immersed quickly into this Irish town and its people. I'll definitely continue with this series. It's really 鈥榝eel good!鈥欚煉�

Yvonne G We live in a part of the UK which welcomes 'travellers', although they are not always popular with the locals because of their living arrangements. It does have to said though, that very few of our travellers are authentically Irish, rather a mix of nomadic people of various European races. Pleased you enjoyed the read! :)
