MURDER IN AN IRISH BOOKSHOP by Carlene O’Connor, An Irish Village Mystery #7

On Sale January 25^th, 2022 / ISBN 9781496730824

“Queen of the cozy police procedural (Publishers Weekly),” USA Today bestselling author Carlene O’Connor’s seventh Irish Village Mystery brings a whodunit that tests even Garda Siobhán O’Sullivan, as the grand opening of a new bookstore in County Cork, Ireland’s village of Kilbane ends up closing the chapter on an author’s life…

Between training the new town garda and trying to set a wedding date with her fiancé, Macdara Flannery, Siobhán is feeling a bit overwhelmed. But an author event at the new bookstore featuring Irish writers taking up residency in Kilbane offers a welcome distraction.

One author, Deirdre Walsh, spends more time complaining about the unfairness of the publishing industry and megastar bestselling authors like Nessa Lamb instead of her own body of work. After the evening ends in a battle of words, Deirdre’s body is found the next day in the back of the store—with pages torn from Nessa’s books stuffed in her mouth. Now, Siobhán must uncover which of Kilbane’s literary guests took Deirdre’s criticisms so personally they engaged in foul play…

IRISH PARADE MURDER by Leslie Meier, A Lucy Stone Mystery

On Sale January 25^th, 2022 / ISBN 9781496710406

Lucy Stone’s late-winter blues usually vanish by the time Tinker’s Cove goes green for its annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration. There’s just one wee problem that not even the luck of the Irish can fix—murder…

After returning from her father-in-law’s funeral in Florida, Lucy can almost hear the death knell of her part-time reporter job. The Pennysaver’s new hire, Rob Callahan, is young, ambitious, and positioning himself to become their next star. Adding insult to injury, Lucy only gets assigned the local St. Patrick’s Day parade after Rob passes on the story. But before beer flows and bagpipes sound, Rob is suspected of destroying more than other people’s careers…

It’s a shock when Rob is charged with sending a corrections officer from town to a fiery death. Yet despite the evidence, Lucy doubts he’s guilty, and she’s willing to follow that hunch into the darkest corners of the community. An unnerving mystery unfolds, and a strange woman reveals news that could change everything for Lucy and her family. As the personal and professional collide, Lucy realizes she’ll sooner discover a four-leaf clover than confront a killer with the gift of the gab and live to tell about it…
