It's all about ghosts, pigs, dynamite, writers block, castles, property battles, pompous men and dry Irish humour. Not sure what more to say about it. Didn't hate it, didn't love it, glad I read it. It felt at times like having a conversation with my late brother who was full of wonderful flowery language and dry jokes, with me sitting smiling and nodding as my head tries to digest the overload of information coming at me. Not for everyone but still a nice read. This is the second book in the Pig Trilogy. This novel focuses on Kitty McCloud and her new husband Kiernan. They have recently purchased a castle as their home. But this home is inhabited by a pair of ghost lovers, hanged when a plot to blow up the castle went awry. Kitty first sees the ghosts thanks to the pig. As they learn more about the ghosts, each one of them is drawn to the ghost of the opposite sex. They learn from the local witch that it was their ancestors that are to blame for these two getting caught. Things get complicated when the descendant of the feudal lord who hanged the two lovers shows up with evidence that the castle belongs to him. The ghosts are terrorized by his appearance. When Kitty and Kiernan discover the method by which the castle was rigged to blow, again, thanks to the pig, each must decide whether to go peaceably or to carry out the plan that their ancestors never did. While I liked this one much better than the previous book in the series, it still had some issues for me. I do plan to read the third and final book in the series.
What do You think about The Pig Comes To Dinner (2009)?
Not as fun as the first book, The Pig Did It. Still enjoyed the Irish background.
—Wagieda
Same sort of humor as 'The pig did it' 2nd book of the trilogy. Fun read
