This was my first Mary Kay Andrews book and she did NOT phone it in.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the gifted early listen.
Road Trip by Mary Kay Andrews was a blast, and I think a lot of you will feel the same.
Sisters Maeve and Therese Dunigan are nothing alike. Maeve is practical and by the book. Therese is an actress and free spirit who hasn't been back to Savannah in years.
When their mother dies, they inherit the painting that's been hanging over the fireplace their whole lives. Their mother always swore it was valuable, with roots going back generations to Ireland. They never really believed her.
Until Therese sees a news article about an identical painting that just sold for over a million dollars. And both sisters happen to have wolves at their door.
So off to Ireland they go. Two sisters who can barely stand each other, chasing a family mystery that turns out to be way more complicated than either of them expected. There are family secrets, a murder to solve, a charming whiskey maker, an atmospheric Irish village, and a dog with an important role in the story.
I listened to this on audio and Kathleen McInerney's narration was spot-on. She kept every character distinct and handled the timeline shifts without ever losing me. This is the kind of book that makes a long drive or a beach afternoon feel too short. No notes. Pure fun.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ π Pub date: June 2
