4.0
The Keening: A Mystery of Gaelic Ireland by Anne Emery, Narrated by Sean David Power. Duration: 11 Hours, 17 Minutes.
A duel timelines historical mystery set in Ireland about one family, A mystery in the past that reveals in the present.
Mick Tierney’s family manage a Guest House in Northern Ireland for hundreds of years. They decided to study the artifacts of historical importance on their ground in 2018.
Brigid Tierney ran the inn in 1595. Her friend, a predictor, had been killed. They didn't find any clue who could be a killer. The priest, Brigid's husband who had been seen around, there could be some political reason or simply had a personal matter, no one knows.
This isn't just a mystery, there is a lot of information about Irish history, culture, customs, Fight of the Earls in the early 1600s, in the time that Tudors of England was determined to complete their conquest of Ireland.
It was moving and sad how the bond between people had been broken, and for what really! Also, I can't imagine a better way to read this book except listening to an amazing Irish accent.
Many Thanks to ECW Press Audio and NetGalley for the ARC, I have given my honest review.
