Many a Twist, by Sheila Connolly

Many a Twist by Sheila Connolly

My rating: 4 of 5 stars, I really liked it.

Book 6 in the series.

This is fast becoming my favorite series from Sheila Connolly. I love Maura and (most of) the pub crew. This book gets in to Maura's personal life pretty heavily, from introducing her long lost mother to her relationship with Mick. Maura and Mick both open up in this book, and as a result, see some pretty significant and well-deserved character growth. The mystery is interesting, but personal relationships really take center stage in this book. Maura also finally seems to make up her mind once and for all that she's staying in Ireland.

The other characters in this series really help make it the fun series it is. I love Billy, with all his knowledge of the area and the people in it. I am still waiting for Rose to get more time. I was kind of disappointed that Maura never followed through on an idea from the previous book concerning Rose.

All in all, this was a great step forward in the series, with an interesting mystery and a nice fast, read.

My rating system:

5 Stars: Super rare rating from me. It was amazing! I loved it, got completely lost in the story and will re-read it at least yearly. Give me all the books from this author, now!

4 Stars: Somewhat rare rating. I really liked it. It really worked for me and I will likely read it again. When is the next book out?!

3 Stars: I liked it. It was a good book, with good characters and plot. I may even read it again at some point. The next book immediately goes on my TBR list.

2 Stars: It was ok. I read it, I mostly liked it, but something bothered me enough that I couldn't truly get into it. I will probably check this author out from the library in the future, since even a great author can write a bad book.

1 Star: Ugh. This one is pretty rare, too. I did not like it, it was absolutely forgettable, convoluted or unbelievable. It may even be so bad that I did not finish it! I probably won't read anymore of the series (though I may give the author another chance if they write something new).

*One thing that makes me automatically downrate a book: A love triangle, especially if they aren't cleared up quickly. They make the female look wishy-washy and the men look like idiots for putting up with it.*
