    About this audiobook

    Boston expat Maura Donovan came to Ireland to honor her grandmother's last wish, but she never expected to stay in provincial County Cork-much less to inherit a house and a pub, Sullivan's, in the small village of Leap. After a year-long struggle to stay in the black, Sullivan's is finally thriving, and Maura has even brought back traditional Irish music to the pub. With a crop of new friends and a budding relationship with handsome Mick Nolan, Maura's life seems rosier than ever-but even in Ireland, you can't always trust your luck.

    It begins with Maura's discovery of a body in the ravine behind the pub. And then, the Irish gardai reveal that the victim's face has been battered beyond recognition. Who is the faceless victim? Who wanted him dead? And why was his body dumped in the backyard of Sullivan's Pub? Even after the dead man is finally given a name, nobody admits to knowing him. In the tight-knit world of Leap, no one is talking-and now it's up to Maura to uncover the dark secrets that lurk beneath the seemingly quiet town.

    Laced with warm Irish charm, a delightful small-town setting, and a colorful cast of characters, New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly's seventh County Cork mystery, The Lost Traveller, conspires to delight.

      I love this series by Sheila Connolly! I am always sad to reach the end of a book as I've come to know and love all the characters and the town's spoke of.

      THE LOST TRAVELLER is a County Cork Mystery written by Shelia Connolly.Boston native Maura Donovan is living and working in the small town of Leap in County Cork in Ireland. She unexpectedly inherited Sullivan’s Pub after the death of her grandmother.Maura discovers a dead body in the ravine near the pub and the book revolves around this ‘mystery man’, for no one can identify him.I want to like this title and this series so much. I have visited the area many times and I like the locale and the premise for Maura being in Ireland. The book cover (on my Kindle Fire) is beautiful and beckons you into the book. I think Ms. Connolly has traveled, herself, in the area and tries to weave some local color and incidents and issues into her story. But there is very little plot. There is page after page of Maura complaining and whining over and over again about the same things. She takes no responsibility for anything - can’t and won’t learn to use a computer for her business; doesn’t ‘do the books’ for the pub; has been barely out of Leap after a year in Ireland; knows no local laws, rules, regulations. Whine - Whine -Whine - that is the plot!The whole issue of immigration is ‘sort of’ brought up, as Maura needs employees to help run the bar, but the issues and rules are glossed over and not fully explained.I really don’t like these ‘cozy mysteries’ where the local police force is written off as incompetent. It is just not true. The main character comes off as an interfering, ignorant busybody.This title is a no-go for me.

      I like this series but this was not one of the better ones. A mutilated body is found in the ravine behind Maura's pub by her and she starts investigating and asking questions. She seems unaware of the danger until the end of the book. Meanwhile, she's thinking of adding a kitchen to serve lunch and dinner, wanting to hire more help while not having any knowledge about how to implement the changes.
