Summary

No Obvious Cause is the second instalment in the Dublin Murder mystery series and will appeal to fans of authors such as Peter James, L. J. Ross and Ruth Rendall.

A murder followed by a series of random, motiveless crimes leaves Detective Garda Sergeant Mike West and his team puzzled. When Edel Johnson arrives at the scene of a crime Mike is taken aback, more so when he discovers she is now working with a victim support group. He has feelings for her, but he is the garda who investigated her husband's murder, and their relationship is complicated.

With crime in Dublin’s suburbs at an all-time high and his superiors breathing down his neck, West doesn't need the distraction.

But someone wants Edel out of the way, and it's up to West to find out who....

Enjoyable

Intriguing story and likeable characters. Thoroughly enjoyed this and some of the banter between the police colleagues made me laugh.

Another very listenable story with a touch of romance.

Although this book is listed as a psychological thriller, I feel it is more an atypical Whodunit crime story. The only bug bare for me is the monotone drone of the Narrator. Speaking in a very staccato tone. Very, very distracting and spoils the overall enjoyment of the story

Outstanding story

The narrator was brilliant and drew you into the story and you felt like you knew the characters involved and became part of the journey

I am loving this series

I have enjoyed this second Dublin mystery and can't wait for the next one. Valerie Keogh is a brilliant storyteller. I love the Irish accent of the narrator.

good storyline and narrator

The second one in the series I've listened to and enjoyed both books. Enjoying tha characters and the twists and turns. Love the narration. Perfect for an Irish setting and able to handle different accents without silly voices for the females. Hoping the next book won't involve a woman that needs saving from herself though. 😆

Loving this series

It’s odd to describe a cop series as warm, almost cosy. But this is. The series could possibly have ended with book 2, so I’m curious to know where it’ll go now. This was the third Valerie Keogh book I’ve listened to. I started with The Nurse, which was, to my mind, quite unique and special. I don’t usually read series, so am not sure whether book 3 in this will keep me going, but I’m still keen to read all Keogh’s other books. If you haven’t read any of Keogh’s yet, I highly recommend The Nurse; if you like murder mysteries, you might find these … not too complicated, but delightful. The series may not have got me so excited by Keogh’s books, but I’m enjoying it and recommend that, although this book could stand alone, you’d weaken it by not starting at the beginning of the series.
One star removed from the narration because, for much of the book, there are very frequent over-long pauses that I found irritating, but either I got used to them, or they disappeared at some point. On the whole, he’s a good narrator.
After this somewhat picky review, I still give the book 5*. Now, on to book 3 :-)
