Stranded in the Irish countryside with no money to get home to Virginia, African American musician Gethsemane Brown takes a job at St. Brennan's School, charged with turning a group of schoolboys into a prize-winning orchestra in six weeks. House-sitting in Carraigfaire, the former residence of Eamon McCarthy, a renowned Irish composer and conductor, Gethsemane feels inspired. Then she discovers Eamon's ghost still inhabits Carraigfaire and he wants her to solve his death. Eamon tells her that 25 years ago his wife, Orla, was thrown off the cliffs and he was poisoned, but the local garda (police) never bothered to investigate and marked the case closed as a murder-suicide. As Gethsemane grows attached to her students and begins to find fulfillment again, a long-dormant killer is stirring again.
VERDICT The captivating southwestern Irish countryside adds a delightful element to this paranormal series launch. Gethsemane is an appealing protagonist who is doing the best she can against overwhelming odds.
