A richly atmospheric, intricately plotted mystery in the 'Reverend Mother' series, set in 1920s' Ireland.
Cora Harrison turned to writing historical fiction after she retired from teaching to live on a farm near the Burren in the west of Ireland. As well as the Reverend Mother mysteries, she is the author of the Gaslight mysteries series set in Victorian London, and the 'Mara' series of Celtic mysteries, set in 16th-century Ireland.
Harrison adroitly combines the Reverend Mother's clever
investigation with a sympathetic portrayal of the plight of Cork's
poor. Fans of historical puzzle mysteries will be delighted
