About this listen

A missing groom - a deconsecrated church - a hidden crypt - a skeleton wrapped in a blanket

When a skeleton is discovered in the hidden crypt of a deconsecrated church, everyone is convinced the bones must be those of Conor Devitt, a local man who went missing on his wedding day six years previously. But the postmortem reveals otherwise.

Solicitor Benedicta "Ben" O'Keeffe is acting for the owners of the church. She is reluctant to get involved, but when Conor's brother dies in strange circumstances shortly after coming to see her, she finds herself drawn into the mystery. Whose is the skeleton in the crypt and how did it get there? Is Conor Devitt still alive, and if so, is there a link? What happened on the morning of his wedding to make him disappear?

Negotiating between the official investigation - headed up by the handsome but surly Sergeant Tom Molloy - and obstructive locals with secrets of their own, Ben unravels layers of personal and political history to get to the truth of what happened six years before.

A slow unravelling. Very atmospheric and moody, a bit depressing but exactly what you want from an Irish murder mystery. Believable and realistic characters with depth and satisfying ending.

There’s something about an Irish village that touches my heart. The deep family loyalties and long held secrets that are kept for the greater good. The mix of characters brought this village to life. Well researched and beautifully written. And narrated perfectly.

Every other word was “Jesus” or “Jesus Christ”!!!!! If these words were taken out of the story it would be full of holes. I persisted for a while, but the words were used way too often and so emphatically that I couldn’t bear it any longer. I wonder if anyone remembers what words we used before………..For me it ruined the story.

Sooo much Blasphemy
