FENIAN STREET Collins-Burke, Book 12

Narrator Ashley O'Connell uses his charming Irish accent to narrate this story of Shay Rynne, a young man in the Irish police force. He is torn between loyalty to the friends he grew up with in public housing on Fenian Street and his role as one of the police whom his friends fear. Shay's friend Rosaleen was murdered when he was a child, but the detective assigned to the case has spent years avoiding what really happened. When a prominent politician is murdered, Shay is assigned to take part in the investigation but is quickly removed when a family member becomes a suspect. O'Connell moderates his accent to reflect different neighborhoods in Dublin and smoothly makes individual characters believable. He keeps listeners engaged throughout this truly Irish mystery.
