Story
The inspector frowned and examined the earth under the trees. As he scanned the glade, his stomach lurched. One, two, three, four. Five, counting the mound of earth disturbed under the tent. Somebody had cleared the earth of its natural layer and sown their own flowers. In five places. Five graves. A young woman, Fiona Holland, has gone missing from a small Irish village. A search is mounted, but there are whispers. Fiona had a wild reputation. Was she abducted, or has she run away?

The small town of Nannine lies in the harsh red interior of New South Wales. Once a thriving outback centre, years of punishing drought have whittled it down to no more than a couple of pubs and a police station. And its one sinister claim to fame: the still-unsolved disappearance of Evelyn McCreery 19 years ago from the bedroom she shared with her twin sister. Mina McCreery's life has been defined by the intense and ongoing public interest in her sister's case. Now an anxious and reclusive adult, Mina lives alone on her family's sunbaked destocked sheep farm.

Irish Who-dunnit
A gripping whodunnit, set in Ireland where religion ruled.
History reveals how the Magdalene Laundries, crucified innocent girls, by believing that the tragedies that befell them, were all their fault, and that is why they ended up at the convent.
Patriarchy was rife and men could do no wrong.
The sins of the past comes back to haunt the present, in revenge killings.

Lovely and gory
This was a great listen. The murders were gloriously gruesome, remind me never to upset Jo Spain, her revenge would be most painful! The story was based on the real life horrors inflicted on the inmates of the Magdalene laundries, surely institutions that must shame any right thinking person. For me, it made the whole book absolutely credible. I'm actually surprised that none of the nuns who ran these laundries have been murdered in real life. I've read some of the memoirs of the women confined to these places, and the horror and abuse heaped upon them would make anyone feel murderous. The denouement was a great surprise, although I did have a sneaking suspicion as to who the murderer was, and I was thrilled to have been correct. The surprises kept coming, even once we knew who the perpetrator was. This is my first book by Jo Spain, but definitely not my last. I want to get to know Tom Reynolds and his family better. I particularly enjoyed that Inspector Reynolds was a 'normal' man, happily married with a (grown up) child. Whilst I'm sure many police officers do struggle with the effects of all the terrible scenes they face in their jobs, it can be a tad tiresome when they're alcoholics/drug addicts/corrupt/immoral/suffering with PTSD! I am a big Aoife McMahon fan, her narrating skills are superb and she always, always adds a thick and substantial layer of enjoyment to any book. A fabulous introduction to a series, which I will be purchasing shortly. You should too, you can thank me later!

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. The intertwining stories surrounding life and childbirth emphasised how individual.every one's story is. Narrated excellently too with enough nuance for each character to make them identifiable. Cant wait to start the next one.

Gripping, thrilling, excellently written.
Where does With Our Blessing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This audiobook had me gripped from start to finish.
What other book might you compare With Our Blessing to, and why?
I normally am not a fan of fiction, but this story was so realistic I found it easy to listen to.
Have you listened to any of Aoife McMahon’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No, but I was impressed with her storytelling abilities.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The past can haunt the present.

Well written and well read.
I have to admit it took a few goes to get going with this book but I’m so glad I persevered.
Set in Ireland, we have a couple of murders and a bunch of nuns as the main suspects. This story has some fact based history interwoven within it and I found myself googling about the ‘laundry’s’ and the awful life unmarried mothers and fatherless children had in the not to distant past.
Aoife McMahon narrates splendidly both male and female voices. Well worth a credit.

Grew on me
I wasn't sure about this at the start, particularly the Irish characterisations. However I am glad I persevered because it did improve and in the end was a good all-round listen with an unveiling of a culprit who I hadn't considered. I shall certainly give book 2 in the series a try to see how it evolves.
