Some lights should never be turned on.
Sinead Long is bringing Christmas magic to Cloncastle for the very first time. The inaugural Christmas lights celebration promises to be spectacular, with her father volunteering as Santa, a beautiful tree crafted by the men's shed, and a special floating tree on the water that has the whole village buzzing with excitement.
As the big moment arrives and the nominated villager steps forward to flick the ceremonial switch, anticipation fills the crisp December air. But when the lights should sparkle to life, darkness falls instead. The power cuts throughout the village, and in the sudden blackness, someone screams.
By the time torches and mobile phones illuminate the scene, one person lies motionless, electrocuted by what should have been a moment of pure Christmas joy. The gardai are quick to call it a tragic accident, but Sinead knows better. In a village where she's helped wire every light and check every connection, this was no accident.
Now Sinead must navigate through a community paralysed by fear and suspicion to uncover who turned their Christmas dream into a nightmare. Because when someone uses the season of light to bring deadly darkness, nobody in Cloncastle is safe.
A shocking fourth adventure in the Quay Road Mysteries, where Christmas cheer meets murderous intentions. Perfect for readers who love their festive mysteries electrifying in all the wrong ways.
