About Martha
I’ve kissed the Blarney Stone twice when I was four and then at sixteen. Do I have the gift of gab? I don’t know. You tell me. Certainly, my love for all things mystery and Irish are in my blood. As we say in Ireland, let’s have a good, strong cuppa and a chat about it.
Praise for Martha
Great Mystery.
Excellent book and well written, truly a mystery to the end with great characters. Loved the setting and a must read if you love mysteries, or the Western part of Ireland. Can't wait for more.

A Tremendous Start
I love Star O'Brien. For a writer to get me so invested in a character so quickly, that I need to get to know more, to follow them as far as they go, is a great achievement.
Martha... has a great sense of when to use the most effective writing: prose, dialog, internal thought, descriptions et al are all colorful and fit just right.

Like most of my peers, I rolled my skirt up as soon as I was out of sight from my parents’ house.
My parents, who immigrated from Ireland, were strict disciplinarians; I was the oldest and only girl-child. So, I was surprised when I told my mom I wanted to color my raven-black hair with Nice and Easy dark auburn. She said “yes” and overcame my father’s objections when he said “no”.
