Didn’t Riordin have a pic at a michaelmas event?
“Pegeen drank foxglove tea.” She ran her finger along a page. “Here it is. Foxglove. A plant belonging to the genus digitalis, principally Digitalis purpurea.
“Peg worked at Fitzgerald’s over summers to earn money
Gethsemane smacked her forehead. “Nuala, again. She didn’t care what Agatha Christie did in the war. She ratted on her sister. She wanted me to know Pegeen worked as a pharmacy assistant. That’s how she learned about poisons. It’s also how she got easy access to drugs.
Her mother responded to rejection with homicidal violence.
“Joe Sullivan used pyrotechnics in his magic shows. Eileen’s father supplied them.
The smell hit her a few yards past the garda station. Not leather and soap. White roses and vetiver. She stopped. “Orla? Orla McCarthy, are you there?”
“Damn it, woman, I’ve lost my oldest friend. I don’t want to lose my newest too.” “Eamon, I am your friend, which is why I can’t let Pegeen get away with what she did to you.”
She B figures peegan is the killer and Enlists Francis help. They decide to meet at the theater where pegeens dad used to host his shows. Eamon warns her not to pursue this cause he doesn’t want to lose a friend.
Eamon spun. The pen hovered in the air for a second then clattered onto the piano keyboard. “Yes,” Pegeen said. “I can see you.”
Eamon’s mouth moved again. “Did you never wonder why you couldn’t find her? Why she never found you? The sight of the two of you together during life sickened me. Couldn’t bear the idea of the two of you together in the afterlife.”
Pegeen confesses and tries to kill Gethsemane. She also banished Eamon and told him she banished his wife. She killed Olsa her because she was jealous of the fact that she was pregnant.
The boys with Colm leading the way stopped her from killing Gethsemane. They thought it was still pan time from before.
Pegeen’s confession, eighth murder attempt, and suicide, repeatedly, without effect.
What happened to him? Where had he gone? She wanted to believe Eamon had crossed over once the murders were solved and was enjoying a celestial bourbon with Orla in paradise. But she couldn’t shake the feeling something
sinister underpinned his disappearance. Gethsemane held the silk brocade in front of the mirror and examined her reflection. “I wish you were here, Irish. I’d trade the trophy and a case of Waddell and Dobb for a bit of your snark.”
Gethsemane has a successful concert and is approached by Peter Nolan for the Boston trip. Eamon is stuck in a place of nothingness and didn’t know where. Gethsemane doesn’t know what happened to him...... but has a feeling of doom.
Boston was within her reach. Why wasn’t she happier?
She had to save Carraigfaire. Eamon had to save Carraigfaire. She had to find him. Fast.
Billy and Hank come to checkout the place. Gethsemane tried to deter him with stories of the supernatural. Nice ending with hook to next book!
