This is book 2 in the County Cork series. Coming to you from Ireland, this story is all about a Van Dyke painting which may or may not be found within the county Cork area. A lady comes from New York City in order to find a famous painting to add to the art world in America. She brings attitude and a way about her that the locals including pub ownder Maura, just cant stand. Soon murder is a foot and all eyes look to the American to be the likely source of mischief. Never read as book by its cover, right?

Honestly, I found that the rich setting and descriptions that could have been offered here just aren't. I was bored half way. I started skimming. It felt like someone was being forced to write a story in Ireland. I already have book 3 and will keep going... hoping for more there, but this one didn't make me want to visit Ireland.
