Plenty of thrills and hints at an exciting future for the reluctantly daring duo.GÇòKirkus Reviews
ODonohue (the Someday Quilts series) supplies plenty of fun spy business, but the believability and chemistry of Hollis and Finn as a couple, as shown in their witty dialogue, is the main appeal.GÇòPublishers Weekly
The relationship between Hollis and Finn is the hook in this smart debut. Its rare to find a contemporary mystery that makes the everyday challenge of honest communication between partners so compelling, but thats exactly the core of this entertaining mystery about a husband-wife team of crime solvers. - Booklist
For college professors Hollis and Finn Larsson, a simple undercover errand becomes a deadly jaunt across Ireland in this edge-of-your-seat suspense novel from bestselling author Clare ODonohue
Its an easy, twenty-minute job. At least, thats the pitch from Interpol to professors Hollis and Finn Larsson. Going undercover to procure a priceless rare book manuscript means an all-expenses paid trip abroad. A little danger thrown into the mix may even spice up their marriage.
Soon after landing in the Emerald Isle, they realize the job is anything but easy. Their contact is a no-show and theyre left with fifty thousand euros, a death threat, and some serious questions. Ducking and dodging their way across Ireland, Hollis and Finn must hunt down the priceless manuscript and a missing agent while trying to stay one step ahead of a dangerous and unknown enemy.
