pickI really enjoyed this book. Glad I‘ve read her books featuring Cormac . They are very good. I read 2 of her stand alones and did not like them. May not have read her again. Hoping there are more than 3 in this series. Cormac is an Irish detective with a love interest Emma. He is an honest man who looks like he will be overcome by corruption around him. A very well written read.
pickGlad I gave her another go. This was her first book and I have really enjoyed it. The characters are very real. Looking forward to reading more with the detective Cormac.
Very busy & long day! I went on a 13 hour tour to the Cliffs of Moher, The Burren and #Galway. The sights and nature were spectacular and we got really lucky with the weather (some sun, no rain and lots of wind). In Galway, I found this lovely indy bookstore and I got 3 non-fiction novels about Ireland (famine, murders and pirates!).

Normally Ozzie won‘t model books for me but he‘s sleepy so I made it happen. 😂
pickMy 10th from the Booker longlist was wonderful! I came in with no expectations and was rewarded with an inspiring story. A novel about an autistic boy who misses the mother he never knew, working out a device for perpetual motion; and a school teacher in a bad marriage exhausted by her dysfunctional all-boys school, yet fully committed to it. A novel of the children of missing parents, some grown, stumbling through life. Recommended! #booker2023
pickIf you‘re looking for an excellent mystery with suspense, betrayal, and corruption, I highly recommend The Ruin by Dervla McTiernan. It‘s the first installment of the Cormac Reilly Mystery series. I purchased the audiobook from Audible. I loved the beautiful narration by Aoife McMahon. I could listen to her all day!
