As usual this author hit it out of the park. After discovering her cheating louse of a husband while pulling him over for speeding.... San Francisco Police officer Maggie Doyle divorces his happy butt and goes to Ireland for some rest. Since her ex is a successful lawyer and got off with a slap if the wrist.... Not to mention besmirching her name with her superiors which caused her desk duty. Suffice to say Ireland with her aunt is just what she needed. Or is it? Soon after arriving and helping her aunt at her Movie Theatre Club and Cafe, the town busybody and pariah is found dead on movie night. The lazy local cards is of the opinion it was a heart attack. Our Maggie is not so sure.... Armed with a historical, motley group of characters (a nun, some coffee clutch senior citizens, and a UFO chasing ex pit smoking buddy of hers) she outs her police skills to good use. Sit down and enjoy the many twists and turns. Wow for a small Irish Hamlet there are certainly a ton of secrets and tomfoolery at foot. Between all these interesting characters, one hot new Irish cop come to look into things, and Maggie's determination to find the true culprit. Suffice to say it's a grand time to be had!! ( )

While I received an ARC of this book, I have made an independent decision to post this review. I think of this book as a Cozy Whodunnit! Ex police officer Maggie goes home to recover from her husbands' cheating - and works in her aunt's coffee shop in a renovated cinema. That's when the plot thickens! ( )

A cozy mystery. Okay. ( )

Ireland, cozy mystery, law enforcement, relationships, murder investigation

The marriage is beyond dead, the job is totalled, and depression wants to take over, so Maggie hies off to visit with her aunt in Ireland and cover for her at the tea shop for a day or two followed by time to get it together. But. First problem is that she is expected to bake when she is clueless in a kitchen. Next is the murder of aunt's business rival. Good thing Maggie was a police detective in the states, as the local thinks aunt is a good suspect. There are twists, red herrings, situational and verbal humor filling the pages making this a totally delightful read! ( )
