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? 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. What readers are saying about Lucy Connelly: "Y'all, THIS WAS FREAKING AMAZING . I don't think I was even 5% in and I was going to my group messages and telling my bookish friends that they NEEDED to be reading this... And that reveal... HOLY FREAKING COW. I don't think my heart has beat that fast in ages.;-) ... Now, go find this and read it. Yes, right now. Go on. I'll be waiting here when you are done and need to talk about it... SO. WELL. DONE ."

Goodreads reviewer " Delightful ... thrilling ... keeps you hooked ... I found myself glued to the book , eager to see how it unfolded." The Book Decoder " Excellent!!! ... One of the best mystery novels I read in 2024... Definitely looking forward for the next book!!" Goodreads reviewer " Fun, fast read to the very last page! " NetGalley reviewer "If someone asked me to define "cozy mystery" then I would describe this book... This Ireland town is magical ... The setting swooped me up and dropped me right into the middle of the story ... This book makes me imagine a gray day with light rain, a stoked fire, a blanket, a cup of coffee (!!), and curling up to read ." Goodreads reviewer

I enjoyed reading An Irish Bookshop Murder by Lucy Connelly which is the debut of A Mercy McCarthy Mystery series. I liked Mercy McCarthy who is a mystery writer. Mercy is protective of her twin sister, Lizzie. Lizzie is delighted with the bookshop (I do not blame her!) that the ladies inherited and that she will be running. I enjoyed the banter between the sisters and their close relationship. Shamrock Cove, Ireland sounded delightful with its colorful buildings. I especially loved the color of the bookshop. I thought it was unique that there was a hidden entrance to Hidden Way Court where Mercy and Lizzy McCarthy were residing in the home they inherited from their grandfather. The twinsââ?¬â?¢ grandfather had a penchant for puzzles, and I have a feeling there are more surprises awaiting the ladies. The residents of the court welcomed the twins with open arms except for the judge who does not have a kind word for anyone. The move to Ireland is a fresh start for the twins. Unfortunately, the murder of the disagreeable judge puts a crimp in their plans. Mercy does not like that the sisters are under a cloud of suspicion. She dives into the whodunit to clear their names. The suspect list is lengthy since the judge was not well liked. Mercy manages to butt heads with Kiernan, the local detective, along the way. I had fun solving the puzzle. There is a good cast of secondary characters with my favorites being Lolly and Kiernan. I am looking forward to the next A Mercy McCarthy Mystery. An Irish Bookshop Murder is a craic cozy mystery with a gan choinne inheritance, a gnÃ?³thach bookstore, cairdiÃ?ºil neighbors, a dÃ?ºnmharaÃ?Âodh judge, and a fresh start for CÃ?ºpla sisters.
