November 2019 (written but not published at the time - doh!)
Hello again - it's been a while and a lot has happened this year.

Two notable events worth a mention here:
First, I had a great trip to the Harrogate Crime Writing Festival in July with my friends from Book Group

And second, I've made the acquaintance of a new team of detectives led by Inspector Tom Reynolds of the Irish Garda, as written by Jo Spain. Polished off the first two books in fairly quick time and am looking forward to reading more - reviews below.

With Our Blessing: Review from Good Reads 9 Oct 19
When the Mother Superior of a rural convent is found dead and crucified in a Dublin park, Tom Reynolds and his team are dispatched to find out who could be responsible for such a brutal crime: is it one of the other nuns who bears a grudge of is it perhaps a former inmate of the Magdalene laundry which was once on the site? As the detectives discover more about the past they realise that the killer might strike again. Can they solve the mystery before the body count grows?


Beneath the Surface: Review from Good Reads 30 Oct 19
When Ryan Finnegan is shot dead in the Irish Parliament building, Tom Reynolds and his team are called in to investigate. What transpires is a tale of politics, sex and corruption making but is there more to the story than that? Is Ryan's death connected to the new Bill on off-shore rights or is the motivation something much more personal? As the secrets of the high and mighty are revealed Tom has to rethink his approach to unmask the killer. A good pacey read - really enjoying the action and the interplay between characters..
