Danger comes to Cork in the seventh County Cork mystery fromNew York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly, and it's up to Maura Donovan to find a way to protect all she's worked for. Pub owner Maura Donovan is settling into a charmed life in Ireland--until a mutilated body on her property ends her lucky streak. Boston expat Maura Donovan came to Ireland to honor her grandmother's last wish, but she never expected to stay in provincial County Cork--much less to inherit a house and a pub, Sullivan's, in the small village of Leap. After a year-long struggle to stay in the black, Sullivan's is finally thriving, and Maura has even brought back traditional Irish music to the pub. With a crop of new friends and a budding relationship with handsome Mick Nolan, Maura's life seems rosier than ever--but even in Ireland, you can't always trust your luck. It begins with Maura's discovery of a body in the ravine behind the pub. And then, the Irish garda reveal that the victim's face has been battered beyond recognition. Who is the faceless victim? Who wanted him dead? And why was his body dumped in the backyard of Sullivan's Pub? Even after the dead man is finally given a name, nobody admits to knowing him. In the tight-knit world of Leap, no one is talking--and now it's up to Maura to uncover the dark secrets that lurk beneath theseemingly quiet town. Laced with warm Irish charm, a delightful small-town setting, and a colorful cast of characters, New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly's seventh County Cork mystery,The Lost Traveller, conspires to delight.

Another fun, easy read in this cozy mystery series set in Ireland. In this one, pub owner Maura finds a body floating in the ravine behind Sullivan‘s, and since her business is down seemingly bc of it she decides to do her usual amateur sleuthing. It‘s always nice to see the usuals and the gardai in Leap, and I like that while it‘s formulaic no one treats anyone like they‘re stupid, and every person regardless of age has something to offer.

Started this one last night, and am hoping to finish it today as my “read one library book cover to cover” goal for the #CYOReadathon this weekend. It‘s pretty nice out so I might actually *gasp* read outside?!?!!!

This is #7 in the series (I think) and I'm done with it. I don't know if it's the narrator's tone/voice for the main character, but I've come to loathe her. 😒 I finished but barely.
