Description

Bestselling author Carlene O’Connor’s fourth novel in the acclaimed Irish Village Mystery series is now available in trade paperback!

When competing card sharps stir up Siobhán O’Suullivan’s quiet Irish village, a poker tournament turns into a game of Hangman…

In the small village of Kilbane in County Cork, for a cuppa tea or a slice of brown bread, you go to Naomi’s Bistro, managed by the many siblings of the lively O'Sullivan brood. For a pint or a game of darts—or for the poker tournament that's just come to town—it’s the pub you want.

One player’s reputation precedes him: Eamon Foley, a tinker out of Dublin, called the Octopus for playing like he has eight hands under the table. But when Foley is found at the end of a rope, swinging from the rafters of Rory Mack’s pub, it’s time for the garda to take matters into their own hands. Macdara Flannery would lay odds it’s a simple suicide—after all, there’s a note and the room was locked. But Siobhán suspects foul play, as does Foley’s very pregnant widow. Perhaps one of Foley’s fellow finalists just raised the stakes to life and death. With conflicting theories on the crime—not to mention the possibility of a proposal—tensions are running high between Siobhán and Macdara. Soon it’s up to Siobhán to call a killer’s bluff, but if she doesn’t play her cards right, she may be the next one taken out of the game . . .

I enjoyed this title for it held a strong theme, but had little tid-bits that kept the story intriguing. I am having fun reading this series.

This is the first book I’ve read in this series and I could tell it wasn’t first in the series but there wasn’t a single spoiler that I picked up on. I was kept guessing throughout the entirety of the story. I adored the characters, the plot was well-written, and I wish I could dive into the world created.

Thank you to Carlene O’Connor, NetGalley, and Kensington Publishing for allowing me the opportunity to read and share my honest thoughts and opinions about this delightful story.
Great sequel!
