When faced with superstitious townsfolk, she must keep her head to find a killer.
When Macdara-s cousin Jane frantically calls for his help, Siobh-/b> is at his side. The two garda rush from Kilbane to the rural village where Jane and her mother have recently moved. They find Jane, who is blind, outside the cottage, in a state. Inside, Aunt Ellen lies on her bed in a fancy red dress, dead. A pillow on the floor and a nearby teacup suggest the mode of death to their trained eyes: the woman has been poisoned and smothered.
Devout believers in Irish folklore, the villagers insist the cottage is cursed-built on a fairy path. It turns out Ellen Delaney was not the first to die mysteriously in this cottage. Although the townsfolk blame malevolent fairies, Siobh-and Macdara must follow the path of a murderer all too human-but just as evil...
A charming Irish cosy mystery, perfect for fans of Clare Chase and Margaret Mayhew.
