This week we have reviews of 3 more Irish mysteries for your St. Patrick's Day reading-Murder at an Irish Bakery: An Irish Village Mystery by Carlene O’Connor, Irish Knit Murder: A Knit & Nibble Mystery by Peggy Ehrhart, and Death in Irish Accents: A Dublin Driver Mystery by Catie Murphy.
When my Kensington editor last year suggested either a St. Patrick’s Day story or a cooking competition for my next Country Store mystery, I loved both ideas so much I decided to combine them.
As we get ready to head into the month of March it seemed a perfect time to share a pair of mysteries set at St. Patrick's Day-Irish Coffee Murder: A collection of three short stories all based on St. Patrick’s Day by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis, and Barbara Ross, and Four Leaf Cleaver: A Country Store Mystery by Maddie Day.
Life in Tinker’s Cove, Maine, is changing. For the better? Not everyone thinks so. Lucy and Bill Stone are just back from Florida for his father’s funeral. It’s a sad time, but it was nice their kids were all able to be there and share memories of their granddad.
Feasts and celebrations are incomplete without all the delicious foods, and we all know that simple occasions will become special if there are foods to share with your family and friends. You can only see and taste certain foods during a particular event, which is why some people look forward to the experience. One of the most famous celebrations includes St. Patrick's Day.
While the snow melts in parts of the country and St. Patrick’s Day, Daylight Savings Time, and the first day of spring are around the corner, don’t even think about giving up books for Lent! Here’s the start of a new series by a new author. There are also farms, food, and the luck of the Irish in the books coming out this month. Enjoy!
Joe Killoran ran a comb through his hair in front of the bedroom mirror. At the age of fifty-one, he still had most of it, although it had grown thinner on the top, and the brown had turned to silver at the temples. There were more lines around his eyes as well, but he decided they added character to his face.
Holidays are the perfect opportunity to spend time with your friends and family. You have a moment to relax and have fun, catch up and reminisce. That said, some people think enjoying yourself is inseparable from drinking.
Siobhan O’Sullivan lives in Kilbane, a small town in County Cork, Ireland. Her family runs Naomi’s Bistro while she patrols as the newest member of the Garda (police). Her boss, friend, and lover is Macdara. They have their hands full when the International Poker Tournament is held in a local pub at the same time as the Arts and Music Festival happens on the main street.
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here so it seemed like a perfect time to interview local Irish band Celtic Alchemy. So recently I chatted with one of their founding members Paddy Myers.
