Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Set in Ireland's striking, rugged countryside, the USA Today bestselling author's unsettling, atmospheric new crime fiction novel combines the eerie mood of Tana French and Louise Penny with the compulsively taut plotting of Dervla McTiernan and Lucy Foley, as an Irish veterinarian grapples with life, death, family dynamics, and the secrets at the heart of her small community...
BookBub Best Mysteries and Thrillers of Fall
On a rocky beach in the southwest of Ireland, the body of Johnny O'Reilly, sixty-nine years old and dressed in a suit and his dancing shoes, is propped on a boulder, staring sightlessly out to sea. A cryptic message is spelled out next to the body with sixty-nine polished black stones and a discarded vial of deadly veterinarian medication lies nearby. Johnny was a wealthy racehorse owner, known far and wide as The Dancing Man. In a town like Dingle, everyone knows a little something about everyone else. But dig a bit deeper, and there's always much more to find. And when Detective Inspector Cormac O'Brien is dispatched out of Killarney to lead the murder inquiry, he's determined to unearth every last buried secret.
Dimpna Wilde hasn't been home in years. As picturesque as Dingle may be for tourists in search of their roots and the perfect jumper, to her it means family drama and personal complications. In fairness, Dublin hasn't worked out quite as she hoped either. Faced with a triple bombshell-her mother rumored to be in a relationship with Johnny, her father's dementia is escalating, and her brother is avoiding her calls-Dimpna moves back to clear her family of suspicion.
"Compelling...this is the best of O'Connor's Irish mysteries to date."

Set in Ireland's striking, rugged countryside, a dark, atmospheric new crime fiction series follows an Irish veterinarian grappling with life, death, family dynamics, and the secrets at the heart of her small community.
On a rocky beach in the southwest of Ireland, the body of racehorse owner Jimmy O'Reilly is propped on a boulder, staring sightlessly out to sea. A cryptic message is spelled out in stones next to his body, and a vial of deadly veterinarian medication lies nearby. Detective Inspector Cormac O'Brien is determined to unearth every last secret. Meanwhile Dimpna Wilde returns home to Dingle after years away: her mother is rumored to have been in a relationship with Jimmy; her father's dementia is escalating; and her brother is avoiding her calls. As Dimpna takes over the family horse business, she's in a race with O'Brien to uncover the truth-- no matter how close to home it strikes. -- adapted from jacket
