I am reviewing a copy of The Lost Traveller through Crooked Lane Books and Netgalley:
Maura Donovan is a pub owner in Ireland who is settling into a charmed life there until a multilated body is found ending her lucky streak.
Maura Donovan came to Ireland from Boston, honoring her Grandmother’s last wish. She had never imagined staying in Provincial County Cork let alone that she would inherit a house and a pub in the small village of Leap. After a year in the black Sullivan’s is finally thriving, and Maura even brought back traditional Irish Music to the pub. She has made new friends and even started a relationship with Mick Nolan but even in Ireland you can’t always trust your luck.
It all starts when Maura discovers a body in a ravine behind the pub. When the Irish authorities discover the victims face was beaten beyond recognition. Who is this faceless victim? Who wanted him dead? Why was his body dumped behind Sullivan‘s pub? Even after they discover the man’s name, no one will claim that they know him. It is now up to Maura to find the dark secrets that dark in the close knit town of Leap.
