Fourth story in the County Cork mystery series. After seven months in Ireland, American ex-pat Maura Donovan is finally settling into the small village of Leap, near Cork, Ireland, where she's inherited Sullivan's Pub. In this one, Maura gets involved in the search for a local dairy farmer who disappears on the beach while taking a walk with his young son.

I really wanted to give this book more than three stars, because I very much enjoy the setting, the main character, and the whole premise of a young American moving to a small hamlet in rural Ireland. But the subplot involving Maura's rescue plan of the missing farmer was so farfetched that it detracted from my enjoyment of this one. I hope Maura shows some more common sense in her next book!
