The third volume in the Grace O'Malley series is about Celtic gods, spirits and traveling people. On the night of October 31st, 'Samhain' is celebrated on the Irish Aran Islands. The festival symbolizes the change of the Celtic nature gods to winter camp. All people dress up so that they are in no way recognized by the inhabitants of the otherworld. The right occasion for a murder to happen for this cozy mystery.
While Grace and her team begin the investigation, they have to do without their young medical examiner because her mother has passed away. In the course of the investigation, the young forensic doctor disappears and everyone worries about her. There are two other people murdered and far too many suspects. Are the travelers behind the murders and what does the dog trainer do on his secret excursions?
It was again very exciting to read and I learned a lot about Irish mysticism and culture. ( )
