Another great story in the wonderful Galway Murders series featuring Detective Sergeant Fiona Madden.
Detective Sergeant Fiona Madden and her partner are sent to investigate the report of a body in a remote area of South Connemara. It appears that a young woman has been murdered and dumped.

Madden’s involvement is hampered by a change in the hierarchy and the possibility of career advancement as well as her renewed involvement in her mother’s life.
Madden and Tracy must look behind the changing face of Ireland to find the motive to the murder of the body at the Battery.
The Galway Murders are mysteries which reflect the issues that exist in the Ireland of today. Many of those issues already examined have become the news of today.
Six months after fleeing Virian, Zylah Renfall is scraping by as a travelling apothecary, still reeling from the events that forced her to leave in the middle of the night and never look back. But freedom always comes with a price, and for Zylah, it’s the sickness spreading through her body like wildfire and the crushing guilt of the life she left behind.
When an old friend brings news of a growing army of monsters, and of Marcus—the Fae responsible for her life as a fugitive—Zylah will stop at nothing for the chance to seek retribution for those caught up in the new king’s conflict, a vow that could very well cost her everything.
Together they must find allies to stand against Marcus as Zylah battles with her declining health, her emotions, and the monsters and magic besieging them at every turn.

I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.

I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.

Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
