    About this ebook

    Ellen Leonard is feeling both free and empty. Just out of a two-year relationship, she decides a trip to Ireland could be the perfect opportunity to shake off her lethargy and also reassert her independence.

    But as she settles in at a remote cottage in the Irish countryside and her days take on a comfortable routine, Ellen begins to discover that sometimes things that go bump don’t always do it just in the night.

    “Under the Hill” also features a sneak peek at two of Sheila’s newest books, Relatively Dead and Picked to Die. And watch for An Early Wake, the third book in the County Cork Mystery Series, coming in February!

      Sitting on the grass beside my girlfriend Grace, I spotted a familiar face approaching from across the park. ‘Can I join you?’ Chelsea, then 17, smiled, plonking herself down. It was March 2018 and I’d been with Grace, then 16, for six months. I was

      This was a short story that takes place in Ireland. Ellen and her long term boyfriend have ended a somewhat blase relationship and she has decided that a quiet trip to Ireland for some peace and quiet will allow her to find herself. She runs into a quiet woman named Honora while on her walks. She also meets a bartender named Declan when she goes to the pub for a pint. It appears that Honora is Declan's sister but there seems to be something amiss. When Honora gives Ellen a message for Declan it turns out she is a ghost. A short quick read that held my interest. I am looking forward to more Sheila Connolly books.
