We renew our acquaintance
with Amelia Moore and Rick Bonito in volume 2 of The Amelia Moore Detective Series of cozy mysteries. Amelia is the
founder of the Moore Detective Agency, specializing in missing persons. With
the help of Rick Bonito, her new partner, her business is flourishing. And the
romantic attraction between the two is growing!
Young, adopted Kate wants
to learn about her heritage. Who are her grandparents and could they still be
alive? Why did her parents leave Ireland suddenly and move to America? When
Amelia is hired to search for her client’s grandparents, the case takes them to
Ireland in search of answers for Kate.
I didn’t really get a
“feel” for Ireland in the book. There is the typical visit to Blarney Castle to
kiss the Blarney Stone, thereby receiving the “gift of eloquence”, better known
as the gift of the gab and the mention of the popular River Dance that we've
all seen on PBS, but I wasn't transported to the Emerald Isle. I did, however,
appreciate learning about the meaning of the shamrock or clover that represents
Irish religious beliefs (the Trinity) as well as the importance of traditional
religion to the Irish that is at the heart of the mystery in this novel.
This is a fast-paced story
of love, family discord, regret, and ultimate reconciliation, loosely based on
events in the author’s family.
