Come Through Your Door

County Kerry, Book 4

By: Carlene O'Connor

Narrated by: Emily O'Mahony

Against the stark beauty of southwest Ireland, veterinarian Dimpna Wilde must reckon with a stalker whose obsession has turned deadly in Carlene O’Connor’s gripping, atmospheric Irish crime novel for fans of Tana French, Dervla McTiernan, and Ann Cleeves.

“Isn’t this how every ghost story begins?”

The roads around Dingle are whisper-quiet in the small hours of a rainy night, empty of the tourists who throng the town by day. As she and her assistant, Patrick, drive home after an already traumatic day, Dimpna Wilde isn’t expecting to see anyone, let alone her employee, Niamh, standing in the road, dressed in a nightgown and soaked to the skin.

Dazed and distraught, Niamh passes out after muttering incoherently, and at her apartment, Dimpna and Patrick make a grisly discovery. There’s a dead woman in Niamh’s bed, shot in the head, a hunting rifle beside her. When Niamh comes to, she has no memory of the day’s events, and no idea of the woman’s identity. All she can tell Detective Inspector Cormac O’Brien with certainty is that for weeks, she’s felt like she was being watched.

Suspicion falls on Niamh’s new boyfriend, Mark Gallagher, who her friends have not yet met. But as Dimpna and Cormac try to track him down, they realize there’s no evidence Mark Gallagher ever even existed. All of Niamh’s texts and photos of him are missing or deleted, and he has no social media presence. What lingers is a nagging unease, especially when they learn of another, similar murder one year ago—another woman found shot to death in her bed, a woman who had complained of being stalked, just like Niamh.

As Dimpna delves deeper into a twisting case, she feels someone watching her too, targeting her business, her animals, her family—even her sanity, willing to do anything to stop her from disclosing a terrifying truth …

Absolutely my favorite!!

I love all her books but this one definitely stands out as one of her best. Could not put it down from beginning to end.

A bit unreal

This was my least favorite of this series. Too much that wasn't realistic happening with the characters. And Dimpna came off as really stupid. Love this narrator- she's the absolute best!

Like A Rubber Ball...

I've listened to all Carlene O'Connor works and like previous comments have started, this is her best. She weaves a mystery web that you have to stop at times and say, who or what was that again? it's entertaining and her charcuterie seem much more interesting and human than in the past. Nice job and like a rubber ball, I'll be bouncing back for the next episode.

Absolutely amazing

I am in love with this series. Each book getting better and better and darker. Can’t wait for the next one.

Don’t read at night.

Make sure you read it during the day. This one will have you looking over your shoulder everywhere you go. It also will keep you guessing the whole time. The story still made me smile because I traveled to this area not long ago. I enjoyed hearing the familiar places.
In this one Cormac and Dimpna have to pair up again when another crime lands Dimpna right in the middle of it. We also get to see more of Niamh’s life outside of the vet’s office. She has a new mysterious boyfriend who also seems to be right in the middle of the investigation. I’m beginning to feel like I know these characters. Cormac and Dimpna make a great pair of detectives, and they aren’t as discreet as they thought. I listened to the audiobook, and really enjoyed the narration.
