Murder in an Irish Bookshop
ByPublisher Description
When a new bookstore in the County Cork Irish village of Kilbane closes the book on an author’s life, it’s up to Garda Siobhán O'Sullivan to resolve the story . . .
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 . . .
“A mélange of clues from classic mysteries plus plenty of Irish charm produce an enjoyable read.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Outstanding . . . O’Connor reinforces her place as the queen of the cozy police procedural.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“I dont seem to tire of these cozy mysteries set in Ireland. I enjoy the main character’s journey throughout the series as well as getting to know the town and its residents. The mysteries are kind of secondary to me if I’m being honest. Enjoyed finding a recipe at the end of the the book, I will be trying it!”Ive
