It's the Shamrock Cove Autumn Festival, and Mercy McCarthy is delighted to see neighbors and friends come to the bookstore to support her sister’s book club. But as the evening ends, she stumbles across local grandmother Eva, lifelessly slumped in an armchair at the back of the store. Even though she looks peaceful, Mercy notices a suspicious mark on her neck. She knows this wasn't an accident. Someone at the book club could be the killer. Then after Mercy reads a suspicious entry for the festival’s fiction writing contest, another body is found. Could it be the same culprit? It’s up to Mercy and her canine companion Mr. Poe to sniff out the truth.
I really like this cozy mystery set in Ireland. Mercy McCarthy is a great amateur sleuth who is very likable and works with the police to help solve the mysteries, although sometimes they would like her not to get involved. All of the side characters were fun to read about and helped the coziness of the setting. The plot was confounding. I thought I knew who the culprit was but was surprised in the end. Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
