.stars. I read this fourth book since I had purchased it with the others, so felt obligated to read it.
Unfortunately for me, Maura has become a real turn off with this series I like the settings, love most of the characters, but Maura, her neuroses and the way she's forced into the mystery solving is not only annoying, but extremely unrealistic.
I honestly don't know what either Sean or Mick see in her, because she's so annoying in these books.
But while I can usually get past that to the actual story, this one goes past the believable swiftly into the ridiculous.
The basis for this book is that a man has gone missing not even someone who frequented the pub at all, which makes it even less believable as the story goes on.
Yet Maura inserts herself into finding out what happened and how to fix it, while also jeopardizing her not really a boyfriend but guy she occsionally goes out with's career while at the same time being shocked at other's illicit doings in Ireland.
For a character who seemed in prior books a bit cavalier about talking about Whitey Bulger and having lived in a big bad US city such as Boston yet being rocked by someone doing a bit of smuggling off the coast of Cork.
It doesn't come across as believable, nor does the solution to this book, which is so far fetched as to be laughable.
Unfortunately, this book has put me off reading of the series for some time, I'm also not sure, based on these books whether I want to read any others by this author.
Maybe if there were some re editing, I'd think about it again, But for me, I think this is the end of the line for this series, A shame, because I do like the area and most of the characters, just not the lead, The New York Times bestselling author of An Early Wake returns to Ireland where Sullivans Pub owner Maura Donovan gets mixed up with smugglers.

But this time she may be getting in over her head This was just an okay story with okay characters.
What actually drove me to write this review is that afterormonths in Ireland apparently running a business, the main character still knows nothing about pub closings, laws, taxes, her distillery partners, etc.
yet still somehow gets credited with "saving the business" when it's actually the people who work for her and one wily old guy that make it happen.
She also knows nothing about how to live in her own home and has seen absolutely nothing of the area because she's been 'too busy running the business".
She's demonstrated very little in the way of people skills yet there areguys who are interested in her.
She has no friends or connections in Boston at all and the only reason for it is that she and her Gran had to work a lot of hoursAnd then for some reason she thinks she's entitled to know all about the mystery like she's an expert Sigh.
