No Strangers Here by Carlene O'Connor
This would be a different series of mystery novels set in Ireland, although this time the action takes place on the Dingle Peninsula. Dimpna Wilde must head back to Dingle when she learns her father has been accused of murdering the local rich horse racing magnate. Dimpna has a tragic backstory with the place and hasn't returned to Dingle in 27 years. There are all sorts of problems including the fact her father is suffering from dementia and can't remember what he has done.
This book was much better than O'Connor's other Irish set mystery. Probably has to do with the fact that Murder in an Irish Village was her first book and this is one of her latest. Lots of time to learn her craft. That being said, the book still isn't very good and I found the way the book deeply unsatisfying. There are still the romance aspects swirling around the book as Dimpna has eyes for Cormac, the detective investigating the case.
Chances are high this will be the last O'Connor book I read.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
