Murder in an Irish Pub (An Irish Village Mystery Book #4)
by Carlene O'Conner
Published by Kensington Books
An excellent read for a St. Paddy's day afternoon! This story paired nicely with my corned beef, cabbage, and dark chocolate stout cupcakes. Siobhán (who's name I am probably slaughtering in my mind when I read) is a great character to follow. Fiercely protective of her brood of siblings, as well as her hush-hush relationship with DI Flannery. The storyline and "scenery" left both old world and new to me and left me trying to figure out just how the "Octopus" was murdered because if it's a cozy there's a murder. Great cast of characters and nope I did not figure this out right away, lots of clues to be sifted through so take your time and enjoy a pint while you read.

Corned Beef and Casualties
A Tourist Trap Novella (ie this is a shorter story)
by Lynn Cahoon

This was my second Tourist Trap Mystery. The perfect cozy for a St. Paddy's day weekend with a side of corned beef and Guinness. The characters are well thought out and some are very interesting characters. The town is your quintessential small coastal town with the mellow beach vibe. I did have to reread the last three chapters because the reveal was fast and furious and I thought that perhaps I had missed some clues or part of the story. I look forward to reading Mother's Day Mayhem next month to see what mystery Jill and her friends solve next!
