Just brilliant!
Loved this book! Charlene O’Connor writes brilliantly, the characters are so well rounded one can picture them, they’re like friends you’ve yet to meet. This “whodunnit” take kept me hooked till the end when the murderer was revealed; fabulous! I’m reading my way through the whole series and I would humbly suggest you do the same; you won’t be disappointed!

Yuletide For The O’Sullivans….
Yuletide For The O’Sullivans…..Book six in the Irish Village Mystery series and it’s Yuletide for the O’Sullivans. This year the whole family decamp to West Cork to spend the festive season with more family. The festivities are curtailed, however, when murder rears its ugly head. Enjoyable mystery with a likeable protagonist and a colourful cast of supporting characters, both warm and empathetic. Descriptions are vivid and credible and storytelling so entertaining. A worthy addition to the series.(Many thanks to NetGalley/ Publisher/ Author)

A Cracking Christmas Cozy!
Murder at an Irish Christmas is the 6th book in the Irish Village Mystery series.This was my 1st in this series. Although it was book six, I had no difficulties keeping up with characters and events and it worked for me as an individual story. Protagonist Garda Siobhán O’Sullivan was a great character who I liked immensely from the first chapters. She was smart and fiery and had sound reasoning for her thoughts and actions which not all main characters of cosy mysteries possess!The seaside setting in West Cork, Ireland was beautifully described by Carlene O’Connor with the craggy beach, gusting winds, and freezing snow and I could picture the homely Christmassy scene as a tree was decorated with sea glass, shells and driftwood. There was no shortage of engaging chapters so I was thoroughly invested in finding out what would happen next. The great cast of characters, especially the O’Sullivan clan, helped to zhoosh up this festive cozy. The author really impressed me with her fluid writing; the details of the plot were very well-executed, and the story was amusing and easy to follow. I was kept guessing until the very end and really enjoyed this Yuletide yarn. I am looking forward to reading book 7, Murder in an Irish Bookshop as well as the others from the series. If you adore a great Crimbo cozy mystery, locked room style, don’t miss out on Murder at an Irish Christmas!I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Kensington Books via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

not such a good read as i thought
This book intrigued me but unfotunately it was not such a good read as I thought it would be. I have read many Irish crime stories but this is not up with the top level

Absolute Rubbish
The literary equivalent of painting by numbers. I know that the Irish Tourist Board is turning the Irish Republic into some kind of Disney theme park, but this is ridiculous. In spite of the title, there is no resemblance to anything Irish here. The location is closer to some fantasy little corner somewhere on the East coast of the United States, North of New York. Flinging in a few Irish names, and phrases gleaned from a leprechaun fridge magnet, doesn’t cut it as an ” Irish Experience “.

Light mystery reading
This is the second book in the series I have read it is another light hearted murder mystery it’s amusing in places and don’t expect a serious mystery murder book and you won’t go wrong.😊

Great book, fun to read, suspense until the end. And if you don’t fall in love with the protagonists I can’t help…

Good read.

I started with book one and I’m now reading an in between book, I guess I would call it 6.33. This book number 6, takes place at Christmas and so does 6.33 there is an another Christmas in between I’m calling 6.6 then continues with 7. All the book so far have been nice cosy murder mysteries. The in between books are by other authors as well as the Irish murder mystery Author, Carlene O’Connor. Fortunately I was given all the rest of the series, but the latest, for Christmas and I will happily read them all. (Total of 10 plus 2 Christmas in betweens)I don’t want to say anything about the characters and plots because that takes away all the fun of reading the books. If you like Cozy murder mysteries and the feeling of belonging you will enjoy these books.

Gorgeous family, including Dara, & interesting characters form a fascinating story. I wish James would drop Elise though. She’s just not good enough.
