She saved Carraigfaire—but can she save her friends? Gethsemane Brown fought off an attack by a sleazy hotel developer who wanted to turn her Irish cottage into a tourist trap. Now she must face a vengeful ghost determined to exact revenge for her murder centuries ago. This ghost’s wrath spares no one—not Gethsemane’s students, Inspector Niall O’Reilly, fellow teacher Frankie Grennan, or a group of ghost hunters descended on Dunmullach to capture proof ghosts exist. Proof Gethsemane has to quash to keep Eamon, her resident ghost and friend, from becoming an internet sensation. As if a spiteful specter wasn’t bad enough, a crooked music reviewer turns up dead in the opera house orchestra pit, a famous composer is arrested for the crime, and Gethsemane must team up with a notorious true-crime author to clear his name. If she doesn’t, friends will die, a ghost she cares about will never know peace, and she’ll star in a final act gruesome enough for any opera.

“Call it a curse or a gift, but, in case you hadn’t noticed, you don’t have to try very hard to summon ghosts.”
In this third book in the Gethsemane Brown Mystery series, Gethsemane is up to her eyeballs in ghosts. While Killing in C Sharp isn’t quite as gruesome as the second book (Death in D Minor), the action, mystery, intrigue, and characterization are still top notch.
What I love most about Killing in C Sharp is the progression of Gethsemane’s acceptance in Ireland. With the arrival of outsiders (TV ghost hunters), Gethsemane shines as she edges one step closer to becoming accepted as a local. In addition, this installment really shows how much Gethsemane has come to care for her students, her fellow teacher, Frankie, her favorite inspector, Niall, and of course her beloved ghost, Eamon. When the lives and existence of all these people are threatened with an ancient curse from a summoned ghost with only revenge and mayhem on her mind, Gethsemane has to kick her mystery-solving skills into high gear before it’s too late.
In all three books, the author gives the reader a true sense of place, and the plot and characters make you want to pack your bags and head to Ireland so you can cozy up with a shot of whiskey and an incorrigible ghost, all while the bodies pile up and the mystery becomes more complex by the minute.
I would hate to give out any spoilers, but don’t be surprised by the sweet/bittersweet turn of events toward the ending. Cryptic, I know, but never underestimate the bond between a girl and her ghost. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself clamoring for the next book in the series. I hope the wait is short.
