Description
Bestselling author Carlene O’Connor’s first novel in the acclaimed Irish Village Mystery series is now available in trade paperback! Siobhán O’Sullivan lives in a quaint village on the Emerald Isle that’s a pure drop of heaven, until murder changes everyone’s luck for the worse.
“Distinctive, captivating characters match a gripping plot full of surprises. O’Connor reinforces her place among the top rank of cozy writers.” –Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW for Murder at an Irish Bakery
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.

5By Great_Elephants_RoamAs soon as I placed my hands on this book, I was sucked into it. With action at almost every corner, I loved how realistic everything was, especially with news added everywhere. An excellent cultural example of a murder mystery.
