About this listen

Meet Ireland’s newest daring detective: she’s a bookstore owner, a coffee lover, and a crime writer. Now Mercy McCarthy needs a little Irish luck as she takes on her first case!

After receiving unexpected inheritance from her grandfather, Mercy and her twin sister Lizzie are now the proud owners of a charming antique bookshop in the tiny Irish village of Shamrock Cove. But before they can take in the beautiful view of the sea, one of their neighbors drops dead!

Mercy finds the Judge, a well-respected man who lives next door, dying on his own doorstep. She rushes to help, but with his final words, he accuses Mercy of murder! Most of their new neighbors hear his words and, with suspicion pointing at Mercy, she decides to investigate the case to clear her name.

Searching amongst the Judge’s old books, Mercy uncovers letters proving several of the townsfolk had reason to dislike the judge—but was it the local pub landlord, the kindly cook or neighborly knitter who killed him?

Then Mercy’s chief suspect turns up dead and she receives a threatening note, typed on paper from her own bookstore… Ireland was supposed to be a fresh start for Mercy and Lizzie, but dead bodies keep turning up.

Does Mercy have what it takes to nail the culprit or will the killer close the book on her time in this charming Irish village?

Listeners who love Agatha Christie, Carlene O’Connor or Faith Martin, you’ve found your newest cozy crime addiction! An incredibly fast-paced and funny whodunnit that will sweep you away to Ireland.

Enjoyable, a bit sappy

Not a bad setup, characters and story but did skip ahead some and didn’t miss much. The repetitive sisterly protection was too overdone, repeated nor childish even with her history. Also protagonist was a bit too modest while perhaps successful? Otherwise since it was her first in the series and a well enjoyed author, I’ll try more.

A fresh start..... Murder?

Once again the author has written a beautiful world within to write about stocked full of great characters and possible ways of murder, with just a touch of possible romance. the Irish bookstore pulls you right in to the story and more. just like her Scottish Doctor and her community. Lucy is an instant good friend. would love to have a cuppa with her and her characters.

I see they’re been no reviews on this book and it certainly deserves one.

This is a cozy mystery about female twins in their 30s who move from a big US city to a quaint small town in Ireland. This town is so small that everyone knows each other’s business. They moved to Ireland to start over because of a broken relationship. Shortly after they arrive one of their neighbors dies (perhaps murdered?). One of the sisters is a mystery writer and is determined to determine the cause of her neighbors death.
The narration is excellent… actually could not be better.
The Story is a wee bit long. However, it is “cozy” and holds your interest.

Not recommended

Very slow, moving and kind of boring. Not a very complex storyline. Seemed kind of formulaic.
