Father Tim is helping young Saoirse learn about culinary history by baking a medieval pie. Gethsemane plucks up her courage and goes to places and circumstances that she’s nervous about. We see Great growth of the existing characters. I just love how Eamon is in tune with today’s lingo, even as a ghost. This time around, we also see more notes of the paranormal, including trips to the local occult bookstore, palm readings, and spell books.

I haven’t read all of the series, and these subtle nods to previous adventures really make me want to read the other novels! The banter between the characters is witty and often humorous. Gordon subtlety weaves in the story from the previous books into the most recent one in the series. The plot is intricate, with several red herrings pointing toward different characters. The writing in this novel is exceptional. I really appreciate Eamon wanting to use his special powers to rid the village of Dunmullach of social media influencers! I chuckled through numerous interactions between the characters, especially Eamon and Gethsemane.

I’m self-distancing with quite a bit of tea.Įxecution in E is a fun and fast paced read. Hah! I love that quote, especially right now. “Tim, in the midst of the apocalypse, if the world was literally going to hell, I believe you’d offer the four horsemen a cuppa.” Grab a cup of tea (or something stronger like some Irish whiskey!), put on some Beethoven, and settle into a comfy chair for the most recent adventures of Gethsemane Brown.
