Scandal in Skibbereen

County Cork Mystery Series, Book 2

By: Sheila Connolly

Narrated by: Amy Rubinate

Bostonian Maura is beginning to feel settled in her new Irish home, just in time for summer tourist season to bring fresh business to her pub. But the first traveler to arrive is thirsty for more than just a pint of Guinness. Althea Melville is hot on the trail of a long-lost Van Dyck painting. Maura agrees to help Althea meet with the residents at the local manor house, the most likely location of the missing art. But when the manor's gardener is found murdered, Maura wonders what Althea's real motives are. Now, to solve the secret of the lost portrait and catch a killer, Maura will have to practice her Irish gift of gab and hunt down some local history-before someone else is out of the picture...

Plot that moves fast

The plot was well written and moved quickly. The characters and local color were enjoyable
The Boston accent on the main character was atrocious. I like the series but think I’ll read rather then listen to the next one

Another great listen

I liked this book as much, if not more than Sheila Connelly's first County Cork Mystery. The narration is very good and the story was interesting. I only gave the story four stars because of the repetition, but it's still worth purchasing. I just bought the third in the series and am anxious to start listening.

interesting Story

WIth enjoyable and interesting story and good narration. Well worth the time to give it a listen!

Good cast

Sometimes hard to keep track of people and who is related to who. Storyline is complicated sometime

delightful cozy!

decent plot, good characters, over all enjoyable book.
looking forward to more in the series.
