4.0

As Death Draws Near is a serviceable mystery. I enjoyed the newlywed relationship between Kiera and Gage and their discussions about children and Kiera’s life and expectations as a mother. The exploration of this chapter of Irish history was very interesting. I had not heard of the tithe protests before. However, the mystery itself seemed to be heading in an interesting direction but ended up having a rather pedestrian solution that I’ve read quite a few times in other books. 

I listened to the audiobook. Heather Wilds continues to do an admirable job.

Overall, while I was a bit disappointed by the mystery, the other parts of the book help me to recommend it for those who enjoy the history as much as the mystery in an historical mystery.
