A Body at the Irish Book Club: An absolutely addictive Irish cozy mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781805501510)

The Shamrock Cove Autumn Festival is filling the town with the delicious aroma of cinnamon-stuffed pastries, the cheerful sight of jaunty jack o'lanterns and... a body at the local book club

Mercy McCarthy is delighted to see old neighbors and new friends come to the bookstore to support her sister's autumn book club. But as Mercy closes the chapter on the evening, she stumbles across local grandmother Eva, lifelessly slumped in a squashy armchair at the back of the store.

She recognizes Eva as one of the festival's main organizers and though she looks to be at peace, the plot thickens when Mercy notices a suspicious mark on her neck. She knows this was no accident. With so many people in the store that night, any one of them could be the killer.

Just as Mercy reads a suspicious-sounding entry for the festival's fiction-writing contest, another body turns up on the beach. Is someone in Shamrock Cove dying for a bestseller?

It's up to Mercy and her crime-solving canine companion Mr. Poe to sniff out the suspects before another victim is taken. Could the murderer be the garden center owner who dabbles in chemistry? Eva's ne'er-do-well grandson-in-law? Or the local busybody who has an opinion about everybody?

Mercy has to hit the books-and the streets of Shamrock Cove-to solve the mystery before the killer has the last word.

An utterly addictive Irish cozy mystery in a small town full of quirky neighbors, charming festivals and one unstoppable amateur detective. Fans of Agatha Christie, Carlene O'Connor and Faith Martin will love meeting Mercy McCarthy!
