Cruel Winter: A Cork County Mystery by Sheila Connolly

4.0

Enjoyable mystery, though (spoiler alert) perpetrator comes out of left field. No way you could have guessed.

Have no idea if portrait of village Irish is accurate or not. Also don’t know if dialog (book is mostly dialog) accurately reproduces Irish speech patterns, though I found the constructions charming.

I picked this book off the library shelf more or less at random, but found enough here to look for County Cork #1.
