When Mercy McCarthy inherits a charming antique bookshop in the seaside village of Shamrock Cove, Ireland, she and her twin sister, Lizzie, are ready for fresh starts—coffee in hand, sea breeze in their lungs, and stacks of first editions to catalog. Then a neighbor collapses and dies, and cozy turns criminal.
With the bookshop’s reputation on the line and the Garda circling her new circle of friends, Mercy—crime writer by trade, amateur sleuth by necessity—follows a trail of receipts, rare volumes, and village whispers. Family secrets, old grudges, and a very current killer hide in plain sight between the shelves.
A bookish cozy with Irish charm to spare: a literary sleuth, a sisterly duo you’ll love, and a seaside village where every scone comes with a side of gossip—and a clue.
For readers who crave warm vibes, witty deduction, and a community you’ll want to revisit, An Irish Bookshop Murder hits the cozy sweet spot.
Once you’ve solved the mystery, share your thoughts, tag a fellow cozy mystery reader, or recommend it to someone who would love the Getaway to Murder community—because sometimes, the best stories begin with murder. 🔪 #getawaytomurder
