Carlene O’Connor has written a series of murder mysteries set in Ireland. This title is number 4 in the series, and it does not disappoint. Siobhan O’Sullivan is a Garda, or policewoman, in her small town of Kilbane, County Cork, Ireland. Her parents are deceased, and it is up to her to keep an eye on her five younger siblings, in addition to her full time job policing. When a poker player is found hanging from the rafter in a locked room in an Irish pub, most assume it has to be a suicide. But Siobhan’s superb detective skills have her pursuing her belief that Eamon Foley was murdered. It’s the classic “locked in” mystery and very enjoyable.
