From Publishers Weekly
At the start of Clark's light-hearted 10th Regan Reilly mystery (after 2006's Hitched), newlyweds Regan, a PI, and Jack Reilly, head of the Major Case Squad in New York City, are anticipating an idyllic honeymoon in western Ireland. But their hopes of tranquility are soon dashed. Early the first morning at their hotel, Hennessy Castle, Regan wakes up and thinks she sees a ghost out their window; the next moment a fire alarm sends her and Jack and the hotel's other guests to the lobby. Later, a rare lace tablecloth on display at the castle disappears. Legend says it was made by May Reilly in the early 19th century, but because May was never paid for her work, her ghost haunts the castle. Jack's receiving a note signed by two thieves he's been trying to track down in New York complicates matters, as do the efforts of an American couple to cheat a talented local artist. In an atmospheric mystery loaded with quaint characters, Clark gives the reader a unique tour of Ireland from narrow country roads to the city of Galway.

Private investigator Regan Reilly and her new husband, Jack, head of the Major Case Squad in New York City, travel to a romantic castle in western Ireland for a their honeymoon. There they see ghosts and become involved in a racketeering investigation. The author reads her own work and vocally shades quaint characters with a variety of Irish brogues. Higgins Clarks depiction of Margaret, a painter who uses the design of a local dead person in her paintings, is portrayed as fearful of a ghosts revenge. While Higgins Clark uses inflections and cadence relatively well to portray characters of both genders and varying ages, a more experienced narrator would improve the performance.
