About this listen

In the small village of Kilbane, County Cork, Ireland, Natalie's Bistro has always been warm and welcoming. Nowadays twenty-two-year-old Siobhan O'Sullivan runs the family bistro named for her mother, along with her five siblings, after the death of their parents in a car crash almost a year ago. It's been a rough year for the O'Sullivans, but it's about to get rougher.

One morning, as they're opening the bistro, they discover a man seated at a table with a pair of hot pink barber scissors protruding from his chest. With the local garda suspecting the O'Sullivans, and their business in danger of being shunned. It's up to feisty redheaded Siobhán to solve the crime and save her beloved brood.

This was not great literature or even great writing but it was thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing. As always, the Irish idioms were used to great effect and the somewhat idealist view of an Irish village was comforting - this is how we all imagine Ireland should be. The characters were uneven at times but the O'Sullivan Six were engaging enough that I've already bought the next two books in the series. I'm hoping the characters will continue to be fleshed out and perhaps the murder mysteries themselves might be a bit more challenging. The success of this book lies in leaving reader thinking that the main characters will be missed and wanting to know what will happen to them next. The narrator managed to change voices without sounding ridiculous and has a delightful accent. I rated this book so highly because it delivered everything I was hoping for - an interesting plot, lovable characters and a charming voice to tell the story.

A charming and enjoyable visit to rural Ireland

Far too verbose without much content. Naive storytelling and simplified characters. What a shame… Narrator was good.

Too much talking!
