Book Overview
Garda Siobhán O'Sullivan's holiday plans hit a sour note when murder rearranges the yuletide carols into unexpected eulogies ... This December in Kilbane, if you're planning to warm up with a cuppa tea at Naomi's Bistro, you may have a bit of a wait--the entire O'Sullivan brood has gone off to West Cork to spend the holidays with brother James's fiancée Elise's family, including her grandfather, the famous orchestral conductor Enda Elliot. Siobhán is so happy for James and Elise but also quietly disappointed that she must put her own wedding to fellow garda Macdara Flannery on hold. Mac will have to join them later, so he can spend part of the holidays with his mam. When the O'Sullivans learn everyone will choose a name from a hat to buy a music-related Christmas gift for someone else at the gathering, it seems like their greatest concern--until the cantankerous conductor is discovered crushed under a ninety-pound harp in a local concert hall. With the extended family--including Enda's much-younger new wife Leah, a virtuoso violinist--suspected in his murder, it's up to Siobhán to ensure the guilty party faces the music before the killer orchestrates another untimely demise...

Cozy Mystery
Published by TinaLovesToRead , 6 months ago
This is a cozy mystery, and it is the 7th book in the Irish Village Mystery series. I really enjoyed this book, and it pulled me for the beginning. There is a lot about music. I really enjoyed the mystery part of this book, but I really enjoyed the characters. The characters where fun and felt real to me. This is a fast-paced cozy mystery with wonderful characters. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
Great addition to a great series!

This is such a fun cozy mystery series! I love all of the books. And this one is no exception.
Siobhan O'Sullivan and her family are spending the Christmas holidays with James's fiancee's family in West Cork. Elise's grandfather is a famous conductor Enda Elliot. But when they all arrive at the place where a Christmas concert is going to take place, they find the famous conductor dead. Can Garda O'Sullivan help the local Gards solve the case before the killer gets away?
I loved this book in this series! I love Siobhan and her whole brood. Each of the characters has such a developed personality, and with so many characters I know that's harder to do. I love the relationship that Siobhan has with Macdara, too. I have loved seeing how much Siobhan has been learning and growing. I love the mix of suspense and comedy that Carlene O'Connor incorporates in this book. It is such a fun read and I was totally kept guessing through the whole thing. I had no idea what was going to happen and I loved that! I can't wait to see what's next in this series!
