Publisher's Summary
When Mahony returns to Mulderrig, a speck of a place on Ireland's west coast, he brings only his handsome face, a photograph of his long-lost mother and a determination to do battle with the village's lies.
Mahony also somehow wakes the dead from their graves, with their foggy memories and hidden stories floating greyly amongst the unseeing living. No one, though - living or dead - will be able to guess what happened to the teenage mother who abandoned him as a baby.

Jess Kidd tell a haunting story you just can’t stop listening to.
Jess Kidd tells a haunting story with the wonderful voice of Aidan Kelly. They paint a picture of question that keeps you easily listening to the end.
Jess Kidd’s ability to place you right in the middle of the action, as if you your actually there is akin to Ray Bradbury.
Well worth a listen and to all if Jess’s books.

quirky. brilliantly written. fabulous characters.
I loved the writing, but to be honest it didn't have a lot of suspense. And maybe it wasn't good for audio as there were s o many characters to keep up with. But, so glad I did listen to it. refreshing.

Quirky and engaging
This story is just crying out to be made into a series, the characters are really quirky, and the way the living and the dead interact is both hilarious and poignant. The central character returns to the village where his mother gave birth to him, trying to find her and discovering that a mystery surrounds her disappearance. I loved it.

Thoroughly Great Escapism
A story full of magic, whimsy, eccentric characters and Irish charm. This isn’t your average straight forward murder mystery but if you’re open to something a bit more unusual and enchanted then I can’t recommend this enough. Aidan Kelly does an amazing job of giving life and personality to all the quirky characters and Jess Kidd’s way with words is a triumph. I didn’t want this audio story to end.

Loved it...until the end
I thoroughly enjoyed this book right up until the very end. I found the ending unsatisfying with a few loose ends almost as though the author ran out of time to finish it properly. It's such a shame as the rest of the book was fantastic.
