In this classic whodunit, amateur detective Laurie Kilcannon and
Police Chief Tim Riordan plan to enjoy every moment of their dream
honeymoon in an Irish castle hotel. They think their biggest
challenges will be Laurie's bad back and Tim's distaste for driving
on the left. What they don't plan on is discovering a dead body-one
with a bashed-in skull that rules out "natural causes." As they
unravel the mystery of the victim's death, they uncover the secrets
that hide in their idyllic location. Infidelity, long-held grudges,
a depressed economy, alcoholism, deceit... Laurie and Tim also join
the regulars at McGroary's, the local pub, and adopt it as their
home-away-from-home. Among the characters (and possible suspects)
they meet are Cormac, the bar manager who doesn't drink, Tommy, the
charming server, genial Niall and irascible Paddy, town busybody
(and Tim's aunt) Nuala, and novice police officer Sean. Bad back
notwithstanding, animal lover Laurie haunts the castle's stable,
and befriends not only grooms Saoirse, Donal, Aine, and Mary, but
also stable residents Byron, Mercutio, and Treacle. Using her
natural friendliness and a seemingly endless supply of carrots, she
manages to learn information that will prove crucial to the case's
solution. So come along on Laurie and Tim's honeymoon. Spend some
time nursing a pint at McGroary's, try to dodge braying tourist
Renee if you can, learn how to say "hello" in Gaelic, watch Tim
face off against the local sheep population-and see if you can
solve the crime. Laurie and Tim HAVE to solve it. If they don't,
Laurie may wind up a widow while she's still adjusting to being a
wife. NOTE: This book is part of a series, but the 4 titles can
read in any order.
