- Kort biografi
- Carlene O’Connor comes from a long line of Irish storytellers. Her great-grandmother emigrated from Ireland to America during the Troubles, and the stories have been flowing ever since. Of all the places across the pond she’s wandered, she fell most in love with a walled town in County Limerick and was inspired to create the town of Kilbane, County Cork. Carlene currently divides her time between New York and the Emerald Isle. (from www.carleneoconnor.com)

The characters were well-developed and portrayed in a realistic way, with their dark pasts and secrets. I especially liked Dimpna’s character – she’s intelligent, kind, curious, and brave, and that’s probably why she gets into trouble all the time. I liked the chemistry between Dimpna and Cormac, but I wish they got to spend more time together. I also loved all of the furry characters involved in the story, especially the chatty parrot Bette Davis, who seems to know much more than she’s able to say.
There’s so much happening in Kerry County — from a meteor shower, a quirky caravan group, and a chatty parrot, to an observant nature lover and fox enthusiast, and a shady figure with binoculars lurking in the shadows, as well as many other residents who are always “looking.”
This book can be read as a standalone. Although some sections involve Dimpna's family background, which may be a bit confusing, they are not crucial parts of the story.
I fell in love with Dingle and its residents, and now I need to read the first book in the series - No Strangers Here. I highly recommend this book, especially if you love murder mysteries and small-town settings! It’s a great story, and it was hard to put down!
Thank you, Goodreads, the publisher Kensington, and author Carlene O'Connor for the gifted copy! I received a free copy of this book, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.… (mere)
