Malarkey

Lark Dodge #5

by Sheila Simonson

Lark Dodge flies to Ireland to keep an eye on her convalescent father and reflect on her own marital storms, but her time-out ends before it can begin when she finds a dead man on the castle-like estate where she and her father are staying. The body is that of an unpopular American businessman with a passion for war games played out in a nearby woods. Tensions explode when another murder takes Lark into secrets of the human heart--and the gruesome atrocities the heart is capable of. Her husband’s unexpected arrival--flying to the rescue--drives Lark and Jay further apart. Then Jay vanishes, and so does the chief suspect in the two murders.

This is the fifth book in the series. Lark is with her dad in Ireland where he is doing historical research when she discovers a body. While trying to figure out “who done it” she also drives her dad around parts of Dublin and southeast Ireland so there are some interesting descriptions of the locale.

This might have been my favorite of all of Sheila Simonson’s works. Sadly, I’ve now read them all. Intelligent writing, interesting complex characters, great story lines, interesting settings. Definitely worth the reads!

Loved this series, wish that there were more books in it. It is a great mysery.
