Story all over the shop and no real connection between people - Even Tanner and Jenny. The story line was muddled, murky and mouldy. And the way Jenny is discarded leaves everyone asking as to why? No closure for readers here. Tanner became annoyingly ridiculous and became weaker and weaker as a character. Shoddy Work!

What West Irish man woman or child did NOT know Gàidhlig especially during this period? If you use an Irish woman in a story, that was from a ravished west Ireland village, know she spoke fluently her native tongue...Unless she was struck dumb by lightening! Tramore is said Trá Mhór...not said Tram-more. It’s like listening to Americans say Gal-a-way when telling me they just visited Tig Choili and heard the wonderful old music with a pint of Guinness! It’s cringeworthy!

Story
In turn-of-the-century New York City, Irish immigrant Molly Murphy is contemplating giving up PI work for something a little less complicated, less exciting. Molly has had quite enough excitement recently, thank you very much. Especially from the handsome but deceptive NYPD captain Daniel Sullivan, whom she'd like to avoid completely. But when Daniel is accused of accepting bribes and lands himself in the Tombs, the notorious city jail, he begs Molly to help prove he was framed, and after everything they've been through, she cannot turn him down.

In beginning It was ok but not sure if writer knows Ireland very well. Connemara is not in Mayo. And the narrator in first stories could pronounce Nuala and in this story the narrator mispronounces the name. Molly needs to get a bit more backbone. She’s becoming whiny.

Inside a duffel bag she carries a stone heart, alongside a map to lead her to Longcoat Bob, the deep-country sorcerer who she believes put a curse on her family. By her side are the most unlikely travelling companions: Greta, a razor-tongued actress, and Yukio, a fallen Japanese fighter pilot. The treasure lies before them, but close behind them trails the dark. And above them, always, are the shimmering skies.

Police corruption, an investigation that ends in tragedy, and the mystery of a little girl's silence - three unconnected events that will prove to be linked by one small town. While Detective Cormac Reilly faces enemies at work and trouble in his personal life, Garda Peter Fisher is relocated out of Galway with the threat of prosecution hanging over his head. But even that is not as terrible as having to work for his overbearing father, the local copper for the pretty seaside town of Roundstone.

Great story but the recording is not the best. Ruairi’s voice starts off soft and far away due to the recording. Like no bass to it. However the story hooks you and can hear a bit of change as the chapters continue. Will listen to the next one.

Story
The year is A.D. 922. A refined Arab courtier, representative of the powerful Caliph of Baghdad, encounters a party of Viking warriors who are journeying to the barbaric North. He is appalled by their Viking customs - the wanton sexuality of their pale, angular women, their disregard for cleanliness...their cold-blooded human sacrifices. But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth.

Reviewed: 09-08-2020
Dull, dull and more so. It’s been written in a historical view via ancient texts in a Cambridge or Oxford lingo that gives it not an ounce of heart or adventure nor a connection to characters. Kudos to the screenwriters in making the film and giving it the soul the book desperately needed.
