Story
Carmel, a 40-year-old Irish woman, is living a life that’s fine, not exciting or awful, just fine. She has a house, a husband, it’s all okay. She never had kids, but that’s just life, right? She knows she should be grateful. She’s better off than a lot of people. Then one day, out of the blue, she gets a Facebook message from a total stranger with information that could transform her life, for better or for much worse. It could be a scam. It could be malicious. It could be a crazy person. But what if what they say is true?

Story
Queensland, Australia, 1936. Sister Claire McAuliffe has been called from Dungarvan, County Waterford, to do God’s work in Jumaaroo, Queensland. Along with four other sisters, she is charged with setting up a Catholic school for the education of the gold rush families. But life between the tropical Australian rainforest and the azure ocean is far from the spectacular paradise it seems. Sister Claire finds life challenging in more ways than she can count, but far more worrying is the constant presence of the much-loved mayor of Jumaaroo, Joseph McGrath.

Publisher's Summary
My twelve-year-old daughter frequently moans that Ballycarrick is the most boring town in Ireland.
Nothing ever happens here.
She’s right.
And as the local police sergeant, this is something I’m delighted about.
I’ve enough to worry about—the polar ice-caps, the evil monster that’s shrinking my trousers, not to mention the hot flushes—without having to be like one of those gritty Netflix cops, chasing criminals down alleyways and busting drug deals.
So, life is calm and fairly predictable.
Until something unthinkable happens in our sleepy backwater.
A crime, but not like anything I’ve ever seen before.
It’s a complete mystery.
And it’s up to me to solve it.

A story for our times of tolerance
I loved this first book in the series. I have spent some time with a few traveling folks of Scotland. They are wonderful people and as all folks who are “different “ from others, they have suffered abuse. This was a beautiful story and treated the traveler community well.

A delightful, engaging, and poignant story!
What an all ‘round delightful story! It’s funny, true to life (especially when it comes to describing what goes on in a woman’s head), and poignant. The relationship of Mags to her mother, to her husband and daughters, and to her best friend are so realistic, and the element of empathy with cultural outsiders is refreshing. Mix all of that with high suspense, and the result is a delightful and engaging story. Siobhan Waring is really a credit to the story with her excellent narration.
