In Carlene O'Connor's seventh installment of her USA Today bestselling
Irish Village Mystery series, the grand opening of a new bookstore in
Kilbane becomes the closing chapter of an author's life--and a whodunit
that tests even Garda Siobhán O'Sullivan's deductive reasoning...
A mélange of clues from classic mysteries plus plenty of Irish charm
produce an enjoyable read.--Kirkus Reviews
Join a bestselling author and travel to County Cork in Ireland to
solve a bookish mystery full of twists in a cozy whodunit perfect for
fans of Sheila Connolly, Kate Carlisle, and Laura Childs!
Between training the new town garda and trying to set a wedding date
with her fiancé, Macdara Flannery, Siobhán O'Sullivan is feeling a bit
overwhelmed. She's looking forward to visiting the new bookshop and
curling up with an exciting novel--only to discover the shelves contain
nothing but Literature with a capital L. The owner not only refuses to
stock romances, mysteries, and science fiction, but won't even let
customers enter his store unless they can quote James Joyce or Sean
Hennessey.
Despite the owner deliberately limiting his clientele, he's hosting a
reading and autographing event featuring up and coming Irish writers who
will be taking up residency in Kilbane for a month. Among them is indie
author Deirdre Walsh, who spends more time complaining about the
unfairness of the publishing industry and megastar bestsellers instead
of her own creative works, causing a heated debate among the writers.
She seems to have a particular distaste for the novels of Nessa Lamb.
Then 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'd engage in foul play . . .
