Many a Twist by Sheila Connolly
5.0
Surprise reunions, good or bad?
Many A Twist by Sheila Connolly is delightful. There were many surprises and changes for the crew at Sullivan’s Pub.
Since Many A Twist is the sixth book in the series I won’t go into any background. However, I will say these are stand-alone books, but if you read them in order it makes the back story flow better.
I truly like this series, Maura, Billy, Bridget, Mick, Inspector Detective Hurly, Sean, Rose and Seamus all feel like friends when I am reading one of the County Cork books. It isn’t all about murder and that is what makes it so great. You get to know the characters and the many connections of their families past and present.
In this installment we get to meet Maura’s long lost mother. Helen hasn’t had anything to do with Maura for years. However, with a little nudging, Maura seems to be willing to give her mom a chance. But before she can truly do that she has a list of items that need to be taken care of, such as:
• Figure out if the murder was a murder or an accident
• Help Gillian and Harry get their new house together
• Figure out Mick
• Avoid the new Sergeant in the county
• Figure out how to advertise the pub’s music online
• Find summer help
• Get to know her mother (last but only for now)
One of my all-time favorite characters
Maura has always been one of my favorite characters. She always has so much to do and yet she figures it out what is happening by asking questions and being courteous. Maura has stamina, spunk and integrity. But she is also extremely likable and most people feel at ease around her.
Community
I think what I love the most about this series is the community. The way they all pull together. Yes, it centers on the pub, its employees and the patrons but it is so believable and something lacking in our current time here in America. Oh and the mystery was a good, the clues all flowed. Ms. Connolly can really spin a tale.
My rating for Many A Twist by Sheila Connolly is 5 stars. I enjoy returning to County Cork to see what everyone is up to. If you haven’t read this series I highly recommend it.
