Publisher's Summary
Handsome, charming Conor O’Shea has had enough of driving and guiding tours of Ireland.
So when an opportunity to renovate and run the magnificent but rundown Castle Dysert as a five-star resort presents itself, he grabs it with both hands.
But problems arise almost immediately when his business partner appears to have more on her agenda than just business.
To add to that, his darling wife seems discontented as a stay at home mom, and his in-laws have moved in.
With his family’s future now entangled in a stunningly beautiful old castle on the coast of Clare, Conor undertakes a mammoth project, and in so doing, he uncovers the troubled past of this ancient stronghold. The mystery of the family who lived, loved, and lost their lives within the walls of the castle are reflected in his own family as they too struggle to let go of the past. Like in every small Irish village, gossip abounds. But do the ghosts of regret still haunt these ancient hallways? It is now left to Conor to explore the truth and uncover a heartbreaking lesson on the power of memory and the long threads that bind us together.
In The Story of Grenville King, Jean Grainger takes you once again to the real heart of Ireland.

I'm such a fan of The Tour series
This next part of "The Tour" series takes Connor in a new direction - this time making the move from Tour Guide and Bus Driver to Boutique Hotel Operator.
This book also reintroduces us to a number of the characters from the first book both indirectly (by referencing them, their lives and fates) or by directly involving them in this story.
I loved learning more about the character of Corlene, who was initially introduced as a very superficial and selfish character. She has such great character development both off the pages and on and we see a whole new side of her, who she was and who she has become.
I also enjoyed learning more about Anna (Connors' wife) and her family and background. I feel that she has been a 'bit' player up until now but in this book she comes into her own as a primary character.
I listened to the Audible Unabridged version of this book. There was a change of narrator for this book which I found a little disappointing personally but not because there was anything at all wrong with the new narrator. It is simply that I was used to listening to Patrick Moy as Connor and my brain was expecting to hear his voice again (despite already knowing it wouldn't be). The change was probably also more noticeable because it moved from being a male narrator previously to a female one now. At the end of the day, though, it was only a minor issue. Siobhan Waring is a good narrator and did a great job of this book. And the more important thing to me was that this was finally available as an audiobook - I feel like I've been waiting forever for it and a new narrator was certainly not going to deter me from buying it. I'll also be getting the next one as soon as it's out on audio, regardless of who the narrator for it is.
Am I glad I read it - yes
Was it a waste of my time - no
Would I sit down and read it all over again - yes
Would I read more by this author based on this book - yes, now desperately waiting for Book 4 to come out in Audio.
