Description

A Shocking Assassination by Cora Harrison is set in Ireland in 1924, a time of great turmoil and division. When the city engineer, James Doyle, is assassinated, a young reporter named Sam O'Mahoney is arrested and charged with the crime. As the investigation unfolds, Reverend Mother Aquinas is asked to prove Sam's innocence, uncovering a complex web of suspects and motives that lead her to question everything she thought she knew about the city. The murder seems to have links to both wealth and politics in Cork, a city still reeling from the aftermath of the Black and Tans' destruction of buildings more than a year earlier. As Reverend Mother delves deeper into the case, she must navigate the treacherous landscape of corruption and rebellion that threatens to tear the city apart. With its well-drawn characters and clever plot, this atmospheric Irish historical mystery will keep you guessing until the very end.
