“A mélange of clues from classic mysteries plus plenty of Irish charm produce an enjoyable read.”
—Kirkus Reviews

Join a bestselling author and travel to County Cork in Ireland to solve a bookish mystery full of twists in a cozy whodunit perfect for fans of Sheila Connolly, Kate Carlisle, and Laura Childs!

Between training the new town garda and trying to set a wedding date with her fiancé, Macdara Flannery, Siobhán O’Sullivan is feeling a bit overwhelmed. She’s looking forward to visiting the new bookshop and curling up with an exciting novel—only to discover the shelves contain nothing but Literature with a capital L. The owner not only refuses to stock romances, mysteries, and science fiction, but won’t even let customers enter his store unless they can quote James Joyce or Sean Hennessey.

Despite the owner deliberately limiting his clientele, he’s hosting a reading and autographing event featuring up and coming Irish writers who will be taking up residency in Kilbane for a month. Among them is indie author Deirdre Walsh, who spends more time complaining about the unfairness of the publishing industry and megastar bestsellers instead of her own creative works, causing a heated debate among the writers. She seems to have a particular distaste for the novels of Nessa Lamb.

Then Deirdre’s body is found the next day in the back of the store—with pages torn from Nessa’s books stuffed in her mouth. Now, Siobhán must uncover which of Kilbane’s literary guests took Deirdre’s criticisms so personally they’d engage in foul play . . .

Unnecessary Verbiage in Irish Bookshop

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

Read this series from the first title. The setting and the O’Sullivan Six capture attention immediately. The inclusion of the family dynamics and the main character’s romance added to the reading experience. However, as the series has continued, the mysteries and villains have become increasingly bizarre and convoluted. Too many suspects, too many “red herrings,” and too much punning and extraneous conversational by-play. It seems to be more an effort to justify a hardcover edition than to advance the plot. The editing in this one is often sloppy, ie. killer’s name plus (hopefully) unintended repetitions of previous information. The book throwing climax is contrived and ridiculous. Murder in an Irish Bookshop gets a one star review.

I have read several of author's novels, all of them are enjoyable. The village sounds wonderful. Siobhan and Macdara just have to get married and like Nick and Nora Charles continue putting the murderers in prison. These are the books that comfort me when I have the blahs.

Interesting with twists and surprises

I have enjoyed reading all of Carlene O’Connor’s books. She has a good sense of humor, a strong female character and wonderful plot twists. I get her books through the library on audio so I can listen or read depending on what I am doing. The person who reads for her books does a great job. I am hoping there will be more in this series. Everyone should read Carlene O’Connor.

Siobhan O'Sullivan has a shocking birthday when a famous author is found dead during Siobhan's birthday party. She, Aletta, and Gara Flannery piece the murders of two women from the authors invited to the opening of the new bookshop in Kilbane.
Your mind will follow the clues but will you find the killer among all the red herrings?

Great read!

I enjoy her books tremendously, she has you guessing till the end on who the killer is. The plot and storyline are enthralling, you do not want to put the book down. The characters make you feel like you're in the story with them. Her descriptions of the town and people make you visualize being there and experiencing everything they are. I would love to go there just to see that abbey and castle in person. Maybe one day I will, it's on my bucket list. Can't wait for the next book!!!

Took A While But Knew Who Dunnit! But, Not Why!

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Just a fan of this series. Like the family dynamic; the small town vibe; the Irish color; and the warm love between the Gardi. Add to that a mystery that is difficult to solve because the crime scenes have been contaminated and motives are impossible to identify. If I have any complaint, it is that in this installment there is a great deal of repetition, seemingly to pad the length of the book.

Fantastic series

Reviewed in Australia on February 26, 2021

I love the O’Sullivan six & Dara. They each have real depth to their characters & that wonderful sense of Irish humour. Their love & loyalty for each other is true family & real, with all the flaws thrown in. Their parents set them on the path they will always follow. Dara is perfect for Siobhan & I look forward to their future together. Plus, & it’s a huge plus, the stories are brilliant. I haven’t picked the murderer yet. The clever analysis & detective work impresses every time. The final part I love is the setting. If a town like Kilbane exists, I definitely want to move there. Thank you Carlene O’Connor. I love your new series too. Please write the next books as quickly as possible!

A Deadly Trio-Books, writers and agents

Reviewed in Canada on July 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

A new (and only) bookstore is set to open in a small Irish town. The owners have invited 3 authors and an agent who is supposed to sign up one of them with a book deal. However, the death of a local outspoken elderly woman on the morning of, causes complications and consequently the shop opening is postponed.

When all is ready to roll, a storm hits the village, cutting off the power. In the darkness that follows one of the three authors is murdered. The hunt is on for the killer, but the Guardai have too many suspects and the clues don’t form a coherent pattern.

A great read and insight into the lives of authors and their agents.
