Mary asked Carlene O'Connor:

Hello! I've been listening to the audiobooks of the Irish Village mysteries and I love them! I'm wondering if the locations are based on actual towns or if they are fictitious? Thank you!

Carlene O'Connor A little bit of both! I was inspired to create Kilbane from the town Kilmallock, County Limerick. It's a great walled town, although there's been a bit of a downturn since Covid. But I still love it! They have a ruined abbey, original stone walls, a town castle, the ruined abbey (Dominican Priory), and a collegiate church. I do take some liberties with the town.
