4. A Turn for the bados 5Review at Cozy Girl ReadsLooking forward to the next one Mass Market Paperback Well Maura certainly is settling into Sullivan s and the Leap community I am so very much enjoying going along with her as she figures out who she wants to be I suspect the folks who think of Sullivan s as their pub will continue to find her fascinating Mass Market Paperback In the last book we found out Maura doesn t like music amongst a slew of other things though she seems to be changing her tune pun intended after cashing in big on a musical event In A Turn for the Bad the reader learns she doesn t like walks along the shore or swimming all before Chapter One ends Is there anything she does like to do aside from worrying and complaining Little wonder she has no friends And she treats Gillian the one person trying to forge a friendship with her to her snide and grouchy personality in response unexpected after Maura offered Gillian a place to stay I can t figure out why TWO men are interested in winning Maura s affections Unfortunately in this book Sheila Connolly becomes one of those authors that belittles all churchgoing people as judgmental Doesn t that make her well a little judgmental Irony anyone Look I have no problem with Gillian s parents churchgoers being portrayed as judgmental but why couch the conversation in language which implies all churchgoers are judgmental Sloppy writing on page 70 where Conor is taking a drink from his pint before Maura slides it across the bar to him I also remember another spot where Gillian is referred to as Bridget Ms Connolly needs to find a better editor because these kind of mistakes seem to happen in every book Maura is always having to remind herself how small Ireland is amongst other mental laments torturing her mind over three now four books Yawn The repetition is getting really annoying And there s a lot of sitting around with nothing going on in this book Too much telling and not enough showing especially regarding the big showdown at the end. A Turn for the badpocket According to Maura and her friends the gardai don t know John Tully may be on the smugglers boat Really Then they must be pretty dumb if it s not even considered a possibility And the whole rescue scenario was completely implausible Not to mention I m still trying to figure out how Maura is deemed the hero when she wasn t even around to help rescue John Tully Simply because she figures out the obvious as the gardai should have done If so there must be a lot of dense people in the area And are they so lacking in initiative only Maura s presence will exhort them to put their minds to the problem of John s disappearance A cast of likeable secondary characters Gillian Rose Bridget Old Billy keeps the book s rating from dropping to one star Having such an unlikeable main character however tends to bring the rating down I m thinking I need to space my reading of this series further apart Maura is just too annoying otherwise Mass Market Paperback I still don t like Maura it s neverending in Boston everyone is so busy so violent drugs alcohol no one cares about anyone on and on We get it Boston is big and you are in a tiny town HOWEVER I love everyone else so much that I am totally willing to overlook her annoying repetition to spend some time in Sullivan s This is an interesting crime and it is finally starting to show that small towns aren t as self contained as you think Wonderful cozy Mass Market Paperback For complete review check out my blog at Mass Market Paperback Author Sheila Connolly has once again pulled me in with her masterful storytelling After reading A TURN FOR THE BAD it s plain to see why author Connolly is a New York Times Bestselling Author I m a fan of both her Orchard and Museum Mysteries But her County Cork series is a style all its own A great cozy yet different from your average cozy mystery stories A TURN FOR THE BAD set in County Cork Ireland finds American protagonist Maura Donovan involved in a strange mystery when one man disappears and another is found dead The subject of smuggling comes into the story and makes for a very exciting twist Also Maura finds out something about one of her friends that could ruin than one friendship An amazing story magnificently written I finished this book in a matter of hours Every paragraph I read felt and like I was play a part in a phenomenal story worthy of not just the printed word but a classic mystery film All I can say is Ms Connolly you have a lifelong fan in me Mass Market Paperback This would ve easily been a 5 star book if not for 2 things endless repetition of all the story s details every couple of pages and the ridiculous rescue plot This series has always had a lot of internal dialogue to it but it just seemed to make this book drag It added nothing to the story and felt like filler In fact I skipped 2 or 3 chapters in the middle because the story just wasn t moving along. Turn for bakery item The plot to rescue the missing farmer nearly made me stop reading the book Seriously As a plot device it stinks Just implausible and ridiculous Overall not a terrible book but this series definitely needs to move a few plot lines forward can we do away with the the whole Mick Sean Clueless Maura thing now please Mass Market Paperback Dollycas s ThoughtsI couldn t wait to return to Ireland and Sullivan s Pub In this 4th book Maura just blooms People are coming to the pub to await news about a local farmer that has gone missing He was walking on the beach with his 4 year old son when he disappeared All the little boy can offer is that he saw a boat The sea has taken many men did it take this man too As the days go by and she listens to the people around her including the farmer s brother she starts to realize what may have happened She decides to do a bit of investigating to see if what she is thinking could have happened and if it did is there any way to save the man and bring him back from his family. A Turn for the badqs Like An Early Wake even in County Cork The area around Leap seems to be a prime area for an unsavory time honored tradition and we find out about it right along with Maura. A Turn for the badqual This is my favorite book is the series so far I loved the suspense and the way the author set the groundwork I loved the humor as Maura learns about the area the pub and even her home I especially enjoy the community feel of Sullivan s Pub Persons 1 5 told me aboutsmuggling Have you ever heard about that You have I don t know if I believe this Let me ask four people. A Turn for the badon Once the whole story comes out things pick up but I doubt many people would have the patience necessary to sift through all the filler Also for a woman who s lived in Ireland for as many months as she has it s ridiculous that she has no idea how to work her stove has no clue where her firewood and peat are kept doesn t know what s in the upstairs rooms of her buildingcome on now Does she need a gilded invitation to explore her own home and business Come to think on it Boston expat Maura Donovan still has a lot to learn about Irish ways and Sullivan s Pub is her classroom Maura didn t only inherit a business she inherited a tight knit community And when a tragedy strikes it s the talk of the pub A local farmer out for a stroll on the beach with his young son has mysteriously disappeared Did he drown Kill himself The child can say only that he saw a boat Everyone from the local gardai to the Coast Guard is scouring the Cork coast but when a body is finally brought ashore it s the wrong man An accidental drowning or something sinister Trusting the words of the boy and listening to the suspicions of her employee Mick that the missing farmer might have run afoul of smugglers Maura decides to investigate the deserted coves and isolated inlets for herself But this time she may be getting in over her head A Turn for the Bad County Cork 4 Sheila Connolly taught art history structured and marketed municipal bonds for major cities worked as a staff member on two statewide political campaigns and served as a fundraiser for several non profit organizations She also managed her own consulting company providing genealogical research services She was a member of Sisters in Crime New England president 2011 the national Sisters in Crime and the fabulous on line SinC chapter the Guppies She also belonged to Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America.
