A Distant Grave by Sarah Stewart Taylor
5.0
Maggie D’Arcy is involved with another case that bridges Long Island and Ireland. An Irish National is murdered in the beach, and Maggie needs to find out why. Her questions lead her to the Irish countryside and it’s small town rumors and secrets, before sending her back to the USA to stop a killer who will do anything to keep those secrets.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, just start this series. Sarah Stewart Taylor writes a wonderful, atmospheric detective mystery. I found myself lost in the book exploring the case with Maggie. I couldn’t figure out the twists, and I loved the build up. A Distant Grave is full of a tension that will make you feel you’re being watched.
My favorite thing about these books is the characters. I love that Maggie is a female detective who is confident in herself. She knows she’s good at her job, but she also knows her failures. Maggie does what she needs to, she’s brilliant, and she knows it.
