With Our Blessing

by Jo Spain Narrated by Nicholas Camm

Overview

Detective Inspector Tom Reynolds searches for the missing links between a recent murder case and a series of decades-old crimes in this Irish closed-room mystery
 
In 1975, a baby just minutes old is taken from its devastated mother. In 2010, the gruesome corpse of a nun is found in a Dublin public park. Detective Inspector Tom Reynolds and his team are on the scene and he's convinced the murder is linked to historical events that took place in the infamous former Magdalene Laundries, institutions for “fallen women.”

As Reynolds and his team follow the trail to an isolated convent, everything seems perfectly normal and it seems perhaps they've followed the wrong lead. But it soon becomes disturbingly clear that the killer is amongst them and determined to exact further vengeance for the sins of the past.

The walls in this closed-room mystery narrow in on Reynolds and his team as they race to stop another murder in With Our Blessing, bestselling author Jo Spain's U.S. debut.

“Absolutely my comfort reading.”
—Ann Cleeves, Dagger Award-winning author of Vera & the Shetland series

“The novel is razor-sharp...The denouement is fiendishly clever, a climax in the old-fashioned Agatha Christie-esque sense...a big fat twist is lobbed into the ending like a hand grenade.”
—Sunday Independent

“Brilliant! Fast paced, well researched and sensitive. Jo Spain is a sparking new talent.”
