"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...
