Summary

It's 1989. The Troubles are raging in Ireland, bombs exploding in England. In this prequel to the Collins-Burke series, Father Brennan Burke is home in New York when news of his sister's arrest in London sends him flying across the ocean. The family troubles deepen when Brennan's cousin Conn is charged with the murder of a Special Branch detective and suspected in a terrorist plot against Westminster Abbey. The Burkes come under surveillance by the murdered cop's partner and are caught in a tangle of buried family memories.

From the bullet-riddled bars of Belfast to an elegant English estate, Ruined Abbey combines a whodunit with a war story, a love story, and a historical novel while exploring the eternal question: What is fair in love and war? It all starts with a ruined abbey.

The performance was really poor

Would you recommend Ruined Abbey to your friends? Why or why not?

No

How could the performance have been better?

The performance was really poor a very irritating phoney irish accent which sometimes made it hard to understand

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I have enjoyed the books in this series but this one just didn't come over anything like as well
