An Irish Bookshop Murder
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 an 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 older man—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?
Readers 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 and keep you zipping through until you reach the very last page.

Mercy McCarthy mystery series #1.
With the gift of an unexpected inheritance, sisters Mercy and Lizzie McCarthy move to Shamrock Cove, Ireland where their grandfather left them a house and a bookstore. Lizzy will run the bookstore while Mercy, as a mystery writer will be able to write from her new home office.
As soon as they get to their new home, they find a woman on the floor. Fortunately she’s just sleeping but the next man down is shouting “you’re murders” and promptly dies with Mercy over him trying to save his life. As a mystery writer, Mercy feels like she has the ability to investigate. The police chief disagrees and the two have several run-ins as Mercy uncovers clues and basically gets in his way.
