But when the manor’s gardener is found murdered, Maura wonders what Althea’s real motives are.

Sheila Connolly takes readers back to Ireland in her second book in the County Cork mystery series, Scandal in Skibbereen. Readers are treated to a tale of mystery and fine art in the Irish countryside. Connolly's love for all things Irish is apparent throughout the book and is shown in her in depth research and beautiful descriptions of both the landscape and the people. This book will appeal not only to the cozy fan but also art enthusiasts and readers who are just looking for a good whodunit. Another great book, my this talented author.
What I liked:
Sheila Connolly has a knack for writing mysteries that readers want to read. She picks interesting subjects and themes and knows how to draw a reader in quickly and keep them reading. Her books are always very well researched and entertaining. I know when I pick one up that I'm going to enjoy it. Scandal in Skibbereen was no different. It had a fantastic Irish setting and characters that felt like old friends. I hope cozies set in other countries will become a popular trend. I think it will create a lot of much needed diversity in the sub-genre and lots of new mysteries to explore.
One of my favorite parts of Scandal in Skibbereen was of course the Irish countryside setting. The people, the pubs, and the generally slower pace of life all made this a great read. It will be obvious to any reader that Connolly has a love for Ireland and has made her mission to write about it well. She describes the small town of Leap in such a way that even though it probably rains 6 out of 7 days a week readers will still want to visit. Characters like Maura Donovan come to life under her pen. A great setting from an author with a talent for description.
The mystery aspects of the story were well plotted an executed.
