Publisher Description
Summer is ending in County Cork, Ireland, and with it the tourist season. Expat Maura Donovan is determined to keep Sullivan's Pub in the black as the days grow shorter—but how? When she hears that the place was once a hot spot for Irish musicians who'd come play in the back room, she wonders if bringing back live music might be Sullivan's salvation. As word gets out, legendary musicians begin to appear at the pub, and the first impromptu jam session brings in scores of music lovers. But things hit a sour note when Maura finds a dead musician in the back room the next morning. With a slew of potential suspects, it's going to take more than a pint and a good think to force a murderer to face the music.

An Early Wake Listener Reviews

" First of all, this narrator's voice is a bit strange... I can only listen for a while before she gets on my nerves. The male voices are ok, but the main character's voice is just "weird", hard to describe but the inflection in her voice is just off somehow. That being said, I've listened to the first two titles in this series and I love Sheila Connolly, I love the setting for the books and the story about bringing music back to the pub could have been interesting, but this book falls short. I was hoping it would get better as it went along, but it seems to be getting worse. The main character in the first two books was at least feisty and smart, in this book she's reduced to whining and complaining about the business, she seems oblivious to what's in her own building as well as the people she works with and in some places she's just plain negative and dumb. I think I'll try the next book, maybe I'll just read it and avoid the narrator lol. "
