Death at Christy Burke’s
Though the Heavens Fall. Meet Collins and Burke. A well written mystery, with lots of full character development. The story offers the reader insight into the lives of the Irish Catholics living in Dublin, and fighting the never ending battle to make all of Ireland ruled by the Irish. The main characters provide great insight into being Catholic in a country that has been slow to change both culturally, and traditionally Dec 19, Julie rated it really liked it.

Death at Christy Burke’s by Anne Emery on Apple Books
Anne was born in Halifax and grew up in Moncton. However, since this takes place in England and Ireland versus Nova Scotia and since almost all the characters are Irish someone evidently decided to have Gerard Doyle narrate this book. Doyle is currently my absolute favorite narrator and I will listen to anything he reads, regardless of the nationality of the characters, but give him an Irish brogue and you have narration perfection.

Performance without distinct voices made it confusing. Story line was hard to follow and probably need to read the book for clarity.
Ok I admit it. I love books about "the Irish troubles ".

I listen to them all. There is something about the frustration, passion and sadness that draws me into the story.

Ruined Abbey had all this and more Multi generation involvement and family love and secrets. This story drew me in from the first line. Add in the narration by Gerald Doyle and you have a 5 star book. This book was great. I thought I knew a pretty good amount about Irish history in general and "the troubles" in particular, but I learned a lot. I love the characters and the narration is superb! Gerard Doyle did a good job, but I missed Brennan sounding as he did in the first 7 books!
