Raise a glass for St. Paddy's Day but keep a shamrock handy because
some of these minty milkshakes are made with murder!
IRISH MILKSHAKE MURDER by CARLENE O'CONNOR
In advance of their St. Patrick's Day wedding, Tara Meehan and Danny
O'Donnell are off to the Aran Islands with their bridesmaids and
groomsmen for a joint hen and stag party. The weekend kicks off with the
ferry trip to Inis Mór, as the passengers enjoy boozy milkshakes on
board and entertainment from a pair of famous Irish-dancing twin
brothers. But faster than Tara can say "Oh, Danny Boy," a murder
shamrocks the boat as someone's spiked shake turns out to be their final
round. Stuck in a rural island cottage, while a storm rages outside,
Tara must find the Celtic killer before her luck runs out . . .
MURDER MOST IRISH by PEGGY EHRHART
St. Patrick's Day is drawing near in Arborville, New Jersey and the
folks at Hyler's Luncheonette are getting into the holiday spirit with a
new, limited-time, Irish-themed menu item--a festive green milkshake
appropriately named, "The Leprechaun." It's a hit, until a patron is
felled by one of the frothy concoctions during a sheep parade through
the town. Now, it's up to Pamela Paterson and her Knit & Nibble knitting
club pal, Bettina Fraser, to catch a murderer and put a stop to the
sheer madness . . .
MRS. CLAUS AND THE LUCKLESS LEPRECHAUN by LIZ IRELAND
Spring in Santaland means two things: the elves have more leisure time
and iceball season is in full swing! To celebrate, April Claus's friend,
Claire, whips up some minty milkshakes for her bustling ice cream shop,
Santaland Scoop. But when the St. Paddy's promotion makes one elf the
target of a decidedly unlucky strike, Mrs. Claus and her friends must
figure out if the attack was a failed hit job, a crime of passion, or an
extremely unfortunate accident . . .
