This book was good a mystery that I couldn't tell who the killer was I had suspects but it wasn't who i thought it was. I like to see where these characters go in future books that for sure..

What a wonderful new series! The cast of characters is extremely well-developed with back stories that add depth to their characters that is usually not found until you are several books into a series. I am loving the characters and being set in an Irish castle is a delightful setting that really kicks the plot into high gear! The characters need to figure out if there was a murder and if so who committed the crime while trying to figure out how to relate to each other and how to live together. The plot is truly wonderful with so many layers that you will be wonderfully entertained for hours to come! I absolutely can not wait to read the next book in the series as there is so much more for these characters to figure out! The narration absolutely made the book come to life. I think this series is going to be the newest to hit my "must listen" list!!!

Murder at an Irish Castle (Audible version)

While this was a great story. It was well thought out and contained fun characters and a bit of humor.

I would give the book itself (if it were a physical or eBook copy) an overall rating of 4 stars.

The narrator did an amazing job and I would give her 5 stars.

This review is based on the audio recording that I listened to.

The technical difficulties were abundant.

I listened to the book on my tablet while at home and my phone (as it’s synced to my car) when I’m driving.

When I would switch devices, it would go back to the beginning of the chapter that I was listening to on that particular device (when I was lucky). Sometimes it would go back to the beginning of the book.

This makes it extremely difficult and frustrating to find where I was in the story as all of the chapters in the Table of Contents only have the name of the book listed for each individual chapter instead of the chapters number or maybe a title for each individual chapter.

I loved all of this!!
The family relationships aren’t easy, but they don’t give up on them. There are cultural differences that they work through as well. I loved the development that happens throughout the book.
It was a unique to see Rayne’s life fall apart in the first chapters and then see how that played out in the rest of the novel. That was a good under current while she was also trying to rescue the castle and town.
The mystery is woven in with Rayne’s management of the castle and learning the people and the town. All parts of the story are woven together really well. So there aren’t separate parts to evaluate. It is all one flowing story. Even the solution to the mystery flows with other parts.
There are also hints as to where the story is going. I can’t wait for book 2!

Another easy satisfying book from Dreamscape Media. As a sewist myself I love the little details about the sewing machines, and sharp shears! It’s always fun reading about your creative outlet!

I really enjoyed the Hollywood and Irish worlds colliding. This book is not scary. I don’t enjoy too much suspense so this book really fit the bill!

I listened to the story and enjoyed the narrator! All of the Irish accents were fun and really set the tone! Overall great book!

I loved this one! The setting was fantastic – who doesn’t want to inherit a castle and why doesn’t this ever happen to me?!!! – but I think what I really enjoyed was getting to know Rayne McGrath and her cousin, Ciara, particularly their relationship and how it grows as the book goes on, as well as how Rayne changes as she spends more time with the residents of the castle. The writing flows so smoothly and I got so wrapped up in the story, I didn’t want it to end. I can’t wait to see what happens next and how Rayne can continue to grow her business from across the pond.

Narration was excellent, no issues.

A light cozy mystery set in Ireland which immediately added cute points. The mystery made sense and thought predictable was enjoyable. Fans of travel and castles will want to check this out.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the audio version. I enjoyed the book. The story itself was more of a story instead if a murder mystery trying to be solved throughout the story. The author did a good job writing the story. It looks like this is the first novel from this author. So I can't wait to read more from her.

When her thieving fiancé goes off with her money and inventory destroying her life and business, Rayne gets an unexpected new start after being bequeathed a castle by her uncle.

I loved Rayne’s attempts to acclimate to Irish life, balance her moody cousin who expected to inherit, and her innovative spirit to try to bring a dying village back to life.

A fun cozy mystery, but what clinched it for me was the characters who were charming, sympathetic, and often times quite funny. Rayne’s adventures through Ireland made me feel like I was along for the ride.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #CrookedLaneBooks for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
