It's official! Siobhan is now Garda O'Sullivan, and her five siblings couldn't be prouder. While her brother James runs Naomi's Bistro, Siobhan is doing her part to keep the village safe. Of course, Kilbane is pretty quiet compared to a place like Dublin, where Macdara Flannery has gone to be a detective sergeant. Then one night the local priest summons Siobhan to the church cemetery. There's a dead man in the graveyard-aboveground. He's a stranger, but the priest has heard talk of an American tourist in town searching for an Irish ancestor. A detective sergeant is dispatched from Dublin to assist with the case, and, as fate would have it, it's Macdara. Things have been awkward between him and Siobhan since he left, but their partnership soon unearths that the victim was from Dublin, Ohio. As they dig for a motive among the gnarled roots of his family tree, long-buried secrets are unearthed. Now, they'll have to stay two steps ahead of the killer...or they'll end up with more than one foot in the grave.

"Not quite as good as the first two in this series but excellent nonetheless. The story lacked the same Irish quirkiness and now that she's official, the main character sort of loses a little of herself. The plot was a little thin for a murder mystery and I hope Siobhán and Macdara can get together for good and work together also. I think I liked it better before Siobhan became an official Garda, but maybe this will open up a few more story-lines. I love the setting and I'm looking forward to the next installment."
