Blood Is Thicker — Ann C. Fallon

AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, JACK MOORE RETURNED TO THE OLD SOD. NOW HE'S UNDER IT...

Kilmartin's cozy charm delighted James Fleming as he drove between shimmering early-spring fields up to the Moore's granite-faced manor house. The Dublin solicitor's mission was to help the elderly Moore sisters make funeral arrangements for their late brother. A sad errand, yet it seemed to James part of County Wexford's gentle, timeless character...

The reality was jarring and disturbing. The deceased was delivered to his Maker by means of a knife plunged into his chest--then delivered to his sisters' door in a plain wooden coffin. As for the bereaved--Rose appears silly and tragic, Lily handsome and remote, and Violet as ruthless and powerful as a force of nature. The evidence against Violet is damning, but James's client is indifferent to her fate. Now James is following a slender lead into a mare's-nest of long-buried hatred, thwarted passions and greed. At stake are a woman's life, three-million dollars, and true love for James Fleming!
