Growing Wild in the Shade

A Mags Munroe Story, Book 2

By: Jean Grainger

Narrated by: Siobhan Waring

If you want to disappear, start again, make a new life, a small Irish village is probably not the wisest place to go, since anonymity is not something we do well here. The arrival of someone new is always a cause for twitching curtains and whispered conversations. But here, like everywhere, people have their secrets, and as the local sergeant I’m expected to have my eyes peeled for anything unusual. And I do. Usually. Until I don’t, and the consequences are potentially fatal.

Charming but more of a homey tale of anecdotes than anything…

Mags is a lovable figure & her love for her family, the town’s inhabitants & job is the driving force. Is it fabulous literature? No, but it is a lovely homey way to take the reader away for a charming visit to Ireland.

A great listen

I love Jean Grainger’s books - especially in audiobooks. Listening to the Irish reader adds charm to her stories. Anxious to read more Mags Monroe stories!

Filled with chuckles!

Fun and enjoyable story, the narration is wonderful. I found myself laughing out loud regularly.

Delightful

I enjoyed the day to day normal life with a little twist and lots of love.

Love Mags

I really like this character and all the other ones as well. The story is fun and thoughtful. I’ve enjoyed both books so much.
