As the new owner of Sullivan's Pub in County Cork, Ireland, Maura
Donovan gets an earful of all the village gossip. But uncovering the
truth about some local rumors may close her down for good in this
mystery in the County Cork series.
Bostonian Maura is beginning to feel settled in her new Irish home, just
in time for summer tourist season to bring fresh business to her pub.
But the first traveler to arrive is thirsty for more than just a pint of
Guinness. Althea Melville is hot on the trail of a long-lost Van Dyck
painting.
Maura agrees to help Althea meet with the residents at the local manor
house, the most likely location of the missing art. But when the manor's
gardener is found murdered, Maura wonders what Althea's real motives
are. Now, to solve the secret of the lost portrait and catch a killer,
Maura will have to practice her Irish gift of gab and hunt down some
local history--before someone else is out of the picture...
