Death at Ashford Castle: A Star O'Brien Mystery (Star O'Brien Mystery Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Martha Geaney (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (70)

Enjoy this Irish cozy mystery with American amateur sleuth Star O’Brien solving crimes in Ireland’s County Mayo...

Successful American information broker and female amateur sleuth Star O’Brien is back in County Mayo, Ireland, hot on the trail of new clues to her mother’s long-ago disappearance. Who is Evelyn Cosgrove, a mysterious woman who may or may not have information about Star’s mother, who went missing when Star was only six years old?

This time Star’s splitting her time between the market town of Castlebar, and the island village of Cong, County Mayo, home to the medieval castle turned luxury hotel, Ashford Castle. But Star never expected a quiet walk in Cong Woods would lead to the discovery of a dead woman. The death was no accident. Why would anyone have wanted to murder her? Does the dog Star rescues have anything to do with the murder victim?

Star has a healthy skepticism of the local police—after all, the police tried to convince her that her mother abandoned her—but in spite of that, Star is determined to talk to them about what she witnessed the night of the murder. Complications deepen as Star works to untangle tales of ghost sightings, a rash of mysterious break-ins, and creepy encounters. When yet another body is discovered, Star is more determined than ever to find the truth. But when the murderer’s sights turn to Star, will she survive a confrontation with a killer?

    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020

    It is with great pleasure that I get to read another Star O'Brien mystery. Author Martha Geaney has made good strides with this sequel. With its more complex plot, Geaney still manages to keep everything in order with a snappy pace. There are more characters, more families involved...so you better believe that means there's more sneaking and skullduggery afoot!

    I found her writing to be more confident here too. I got the sense that she knows Star better than before and because of that. the reader does too. There are some great lines in here and I admire Geaney's ability to put in just the right amount of internal thought from Star where it matters the most. There's a great balance between prose, action, and dialog. That's tough to do. I really like the end too. Nuggets are spread across the entire book about the future and the conclusion this mystery is satisfying. The set up for the next book leaves me looking forward to Book 3.

    If you liked the first book, don't hesitate to pick this up. It's simply more Star to love. Another bonus: Ashford Castle stands alone as its own story, you don't have to read Death on Clare Island to get into and understand it. Enough info is given to get new readers on board without bogging down old fans and the plot of the first book isn't ruined (another sign of excellent writing).

    More, please!

    While I love this series, the main character is not very likable to me. She’s very bull headed and does stupid things because of it. She’s pretty self centered too.
    But the book is well written with a wonderful plot line, which I won’t go into as the other reviewers did an excellent job with that. I do love Star’s Aunt Georgina.
    I keep hoping the author might make Star more likable and easier to relate to. She mentions several times about her losses that she can’t get over. I’ve lost 5 family members (son, mom, dad, 2 sisters) all within a few years, and that didn’t make me as hard as Star is.
    Overall, I tolerate Star, and I do give the book 4.5 stars because of the excellent plot line.

    Ms. Geaney's sophomore book picks up where it left off with Star not being able to keep herself from being pulled into another mystery. The search for her mother and the two murders Star finds herself looking into were well juxtaposed throughout the book. A third book is promised, and it'll be interesting to see Star back in the states where I'm not sure if there's as an abundance of brown bread at meals as in Ireland. : - )
    Readers will find this a smooth and easy read. While cozy mysteries aren't necessarily my favorite genre, I enjoyed the book and am invested in Star's further adventures having read the first book, Death on Clare Island.
