The Quiet Woman

Are you in the mood for an Irish ghost story? How about a lighthearted romance in a Technicolor setting? Or maybe a whodunit played out against the wild beauty of Conemarra? Or, better still, how about all three?American romance novelist Danielle Furey dreamed of returning to Ireland to find her grandfather's birthplace—but not like this. Not in the company of her ne'er-do-well brother, who can always be counted on to let her down. Certainly not with her ex-husband—and his secret agenda—in tow. Not even with the charming Irish barman Danny hired as their driver—at least, not after she learned of the vengeful bookmaker on his trail.Still, Danny has the situation well in hand until her party meets an Irish tour guide who claims to know the details of a terrible crime committed during the filming of "The Quiet Man" in 1951. Then Danny finds herself cast in the role of investigator, an investigator with an unusual client: the murder victim herself.In her heart, Danny knows that following the thorny trail to its end will change her life forever. But follow it she does.
