And then there's the craziness about her employer/landlord. Megan is an expat American happy to be working for a limo service in Ireland since retiring (as a medic) from the US army after twenty years service. Thing is, she seems to find bodies of murder victims and her employer is that put out about it, especially since this is the third. Very complicated plot full of twists, red herrings, puppies, giggles about word usage of the same language in two different countries, and bereaved women uncovering secrets. Like I said, excellent! I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

American-born Cherise Williams believes herself to be heir to an old Irish earldom, and she's come to Dublin to claim her heritage. Under the circumstances, Megan's boss Olga at Leprechaun Limos has no qualms about overcharging the brash Texas transplant for their services. Megan chauffeurs Cherise to the ancient St. Michan's Church, where the woman intends to get a DNA sample from the mummified earls - much to the horror of the priest. But before she can desecrate the dead, Cherise Williams is murdered - just as her three daughters arrive to also claim their birthright. With rumours of famine-era treasure on the lands owned by the old Williams family and the promise of riches for the heirs, greed seems a likely motive. But when Olga becomes the Garda's prime suspect, Megan attempts to steer the investigation away from her boss and solve the murder with the help of Detective Bourke. No library descriptions found. |

The plot is fun and humorous as it follows around a chauffeur that always seems to land herself into murder situations thanks to her assortment of clients. Her clients tend to be whimsical and possess large personalities as evident of Cherise and her daughters who believe they are to inherit an earldom. Catie Murphy creates distinct personalities between each of the daughters and as Megan is drawn into their world so is the story. The mystery weaves between two main parts: the murder mystery and the mystery behind the family's claims. The story has so many fun elements to it from the murder to the drama to a hint of treasure hunting which creates strikes the ideal tone for a cozy mystery. The tone is light and playful with an emotional core that delivers heartfelt moments and surprises. Highly recommended and thoroughly enjoyed! ( )
