Description

“If Janet Evanovich and Maeve Binchy wrote a book together, [this] would be the result . . . Siobhán O’Sullivan is a character to savor.”—Laurien Berenson, author of Game of Dog Bones

In the small village of Kilbane, County Cork, Ireland, Naomi’s Bistro has always been a warm and welcoming spot to visit with neighbors, enjoy some brown bread and tea, and get the local gossip. Nowadays twenty-two-year-old Siobhán O’Sullivan runs the family bistro named for her mother, along with her five siblings, after the death of their parents in a car crash almost a year ago.

It’s been a rough year for the O’Sullivans, but it’s about to get rougher. One morning, as they’re opening the bistro, they discover a man seated at a table, dressed in a suit as if for his own funeral, a pair of hot pink barber scissors protruding from his chest.

With the local garda suspecting the O’Sullivans and their business in danger of being shunned—murder tends to spoil the appetite—it’s up to feisty redheaded Siobhán to solve the crime and save her beloved brood.

“Kicks off a new series in splendid fashion! If you love cozy mysteries and traveling, then give Murder in an Irish Village a try. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into Ireland as you turn the pages.”—Fresh Fiction
 
“A smart whodunnit in an idyllic locale. I dare you not to be charmed by sleuth Siobhán and her siblings, the O’Sullivan Six.”—Barbara Ross, author of A Maine Clambake Mystery Series

“A delightful, funny, fast-paced romp of a book.”Isis Crawford, author of A Mystery with Recipes Series

    I thought this was a very entertaining book. The author kept me guessing who the killer was until the very end. All the different characters were fun to get to know.

    Maybe a little too long and overly creative … too much detail to make a point… I read it but found it a slow read

    Even in a different country small towns are the same; everyone knows everyone else’s business. This is a great story with well developed characters and interesting relationships which will keep me checking out more books by this author.

    Enjoyed so much that I plan to read the whole series. I found myself laughing out loud. The youngest boy is so fun to have around during a murder investigation. Can’t wait to read more about this special family.
