Review: Road Trip by Mary Kay Andrews

Road Trip by Mary Kay Andrews

Blurb from Goodreads:

Maeve and Therese Dunigan are sisters—but the two have been estranged for years. They could not be more Maeve, a rule-follower and Therese, a rebel. But when their mother's death brings the family back together, the two find that they have inherited a painting—one that could be worth millions and could save each of them from their respective wolves at the door. The only issue is, the painting might be a fake and the only way the can solve the problem is to find the original. This means a road trip—to Ireland, to their family roots, and to a mysterious crime that occurred years ago. With tensions simmering, the two hit the road and find themselves on twisty lanes, in colorful villages, at local pubs, and with handsome men whose gift of the gab is surpassed only by their charm. Can Maeve and Therese find the real painting, remove a family curse, solve a cold case, and actually survive without killing each other? Join Mary Kay Andrews on a road trip that will entertain you for miles.

 This was fun and I loved the setting in Ireland but it did drag on a bit.  At first, I absolutely loathed Therese but the author did a great job of bringing the sisters together.  I wasn't expecting quite so much intrigue but it worked!  Give this a try!  Great summer/beach read!

The church was packed to overflowing, the altar crowded with flower arrangements. Two priests and a monsignor to co-celebrate her funeral Mass, just as her mother had stipulated. Mary Helen Sullivan Dunagin would have beamed with pride, Maeve thought. 

Everyone was kneeling in preparation for communion when they heard the doors opening at the rear of the church, and then the thud of heavy shoes, like boots, on the wooden floor. Her cousin Jeanette turned to look, sucked in her breath, then muttered, "Christ on a bike with Mary on the handlebars! Would you look at what the cat dragged in?"
