"Simply outstanding literature. There is a fair sense of humour, drama, and unlike any other book I have read, I felt truly empathetic towards the characters in the novel. If you are reading this very brief review, please read this book! Don't judge the book by its cover!"

Thoroughly enjoyable read June 10, 2014 By carole dunphe Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first book I have read by Michael McDonnell but not my last. I loved all the characters especially Inspector O'Hara. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery with a little romance added. Jo his wife is intriguing and caught my attention from the start. A few twists and turns and the book had me looking for more. Enjoy. I am starting the next book now. I can't wait.

Excerpt:
‘Jo, Dermot, Tom. God save us, this is a sorry sight.’ The doctor sighed and glanced round the group, all trying to avoid eye contact with one another. McAteer turned and started down the slipway towards the wreck. ‘I suppose we’d better see if the body’s still in the boat,’ Dermot wished he could turn back the clock. But the life force that had been Peter Foley was gone.’
Synopsis:
When Peter Foley’s fishing boat sinks in the waters off the coast of Ireland, a lethal secret is revealed. Local superstition claims that when death is imminent supernatural forces manifest themselves and the Banshee sings. Dismissing this as nonsense and with terrible danger facing Kenmare, Inspector Dermot O’Hara confronts unseen powers and his old nemesis, Assistant Commissioner Quinn.
New passion is born but an old ghost and past sins emerge to torment Dermot and threaten his cozy existence. All the police officer's detective skills are called on to solve the mystery and save his town. So great are the dangers that even the love of his wife and the loyalty, humour and friendship of the regulars in Crowley’s Bar, appear inadequate against the forces opposing them. A colourful cast, from former FBI man Frank McMahon, who could happily live on a diet of Irish stew and Black Bush whiskey, to the journalist known as ‘the Beast’, populate the pages of this romantic Irish thriller.
