On the run from a notorious mob boss, this mysterious couple flees the U.S. in search of sanctuary on the shores of the Emerald Isle, hoping to blend in with the tourists. In their wake lies a mafia family’s secrets and a scarred priest torn between his duty to the cloth and to the truth.

In Safe at the Edge of the World, author Jean Grainger captures the soothing beauty of Ireland in the lives of those fleeing a criminal bent on revenge.

From the time I began reading until I read the last page, I was immersed in this outstanding tale. I could not put it down. These characters, both primary and secondary, just come alive. There is great suspense, angst, romance, and Ireland so well described that I was ready to book my trip! This tale deserves more than 5 stars. It is extraordinary.
The Conor O’Shea Boxed Set gives a heartwarming, funny and entertaining experience by reading these three well written books. The characters are realistic, fun, sad, easy and troublesome. The emotions run the gamut and there are surprises along the routes. The well told stories are full of vivid descriptions that make the reader think they’re part of the tours themselves. These books are a perfect escape from the woes of modern life, allowing fun and intrigue to take its place. There’s a free download for Letters of Freedom; the start of the Carmen Sheehan Series – a must read.
The Tour #1 – I never get tired of reading Ms. Grainger’s books. This is another well written, heartwarming, funny, entertaining, intriguing story. The characters are realistic and run the gamut of personalities. Funny and sad and heartbreaking and uplifting things happen along the route, but the reader never wants to stop reading. The vivid descriptions of Ireland and its culture and its people and the scenery, including buildings, keep the reader immersed in the pages.
Safe at the Edge of the World #2 – What, this is a lot about a couple of Americans. But as I kept reading I forgot that I wanted to read more about Ireland. We still have all our favorite characters from The Tour and the two Americans find safety with the fellow tourists and the crew. Help comes from everywhere and this intense, intriguing story with its surprises is an exceptional book on its own. It was similar to works by Mario Puzo; substantial, heartwarming, heart wrenching and entertaining. Ms. Grainger is very talented in her craft.
The Story of Grenville King #3 – What an amazing collection of stories. No, it’s one book but the intertwining stories of the many characters make this a rich, fulfilling, twisting, intriguing story. The characters are well developed, interesting and so real. The dialog is better than average. The plot goes on and on with new happenings, twists and turns. The emotions run the gamut: love, happiness, fear, sadness, hate and more.
This is the first book I’ve read of the Tour series and I didn’t miss anything not having read the previous books. I’ve read several stories by this author and never have I been disappointed. This book is amazing, substantial and hard to put down. My review doesn’t do justice to this story. I’m glad I contacted the author to review her books.
Love this series.
this author writes such wonderful books. This is another in her Connor series and it was very very good. I always hate to come to the end of a good book. This is no exception. I would definitely recommend this author to absolutely everyone. You can’t go wrong.
I have read several of her books and this one was different in that she went into some of the known or unknown facts about the Catholic Church and the day to day circumstances the Priests live with.
It offered insight about not only the church but corruption and crime.
I absolutely love the descriptions of the Irish Country side in her Tour Books. It has increased the desire to visit Ireland. As so many characters, I too would like to visit the villages of my grandparents.
I couldn’t put it down. I loved it.
Jean Grainger can certainly weave a story.
The main characters are a mobsters daughter and a priest, and of course Conor the tour operative.
This is a sequel to The Tour .
Well worth a read.
