Description

A missing groom—a deconsecrated church—a hidden crypt—a skeleton wrapped in a blanket

When a skeleton is discovered in the hidden crypt of a deconsecrated church, everyone is convinced the bones must be those of Conor Devitt, a local man who went missing on his wedding day six years previously. But the postmortem reveals otherwise.

Solicitor Benedicta "Ben" O'Keeffe is acting for the owners of the church. She is reluctant to get involved, but when Conor's brother dies in strange circumstances shortly after coming to see her, she finds herself drawn into the mystery. Whose is the skeleton in the crypt and how did it get there? Is Conor Devitt still alive, and if so, is there a link? What happened on the morning of his wedding to make him disappear?

Negotiating between the official investigation—headed up by the handsome but surly Sergeant Tom Molloy—and obstructive locals with secrets of their own, Ben unravels layers of personal and political history to get to the truth of what happened six years before.

Death at Whitewater Church is the first in a series of Ben O'Keeffe mysteries set on the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal, Ireland.

Perfect for fans of Louise Penny, PD James, and Donna Leon

Death at Whitewater Church
Treacherous Strand
The Well of Ice

    I enjoyed the setting, story, and characters. However, starting out it was F-this and Jesus as exclamations almost in every paragraph. It did ease up but still scattered throughout. I doubt I’ll read anymore by this author because of this.
  • It’s okay

    I enjoyed this book and the stories behind the main story. The huge reveal at the end was a bit confusing. Also the idea of the main character wearing 3 layers of clothes and then going swimming without getting hypothermia was ridiculous!

    Only able to get about half way through. Moved too slowly and needs editing to provide more forward motion in story. Not my taste.
  • Wow!!!
