A trip to Northern Ireland becomes unexpectedly grim for Jessica Fletcher in this new entry in the USA Today bestselling Murder, She Wrote series.
Jessica Fletcher is quick to accept an invitation to replace a speaker who couldn’t attend a Book Festival in Belfast, Ireland. When her Cabot Cove neighbor Maeve O’Bannon hears about the trip, she asks Jessica to deliver some paintings to her family in the village of Bushmills. Happy to extend her travels and see more of the Irish countryside, Jessica agrees.
The festival goes off without a hitch, and it seems like Jessica is in for a relaxing vacation. But then Maeve’s cousin Michael is discovered dead under suspicious circumstances. Jessica finds herself once again in the midst of a murder investigation, and she’ll have to dig into the O’Bannon family’s secrets to unmask the killer.

REVIEW
This book was a bitter sweet read following the death of Angela Lansbury who is the wonderful Jessica Fletcher, I loved growing up watching ‘Murder She Wrote’ and even love the opportunity to sit and watch a re-run if its on TV.
Now this is the first time I have ever read a Murder She Wrote book, and I loved it! I am not going to lie I totally read this book in Jessica Fletcher’s ‘voice’ and I loved putting the Irish accents to the other characters. Our sleuth is off to Ireland to replace a speaker who couldn’t attend a Book Festival in Belfast, and in turn her neighbour Maeve O’Bannon who hears about the trip, asks her to deliver some paintings to her family in the village of Bushmills. This gives Jessica a chance to see more of the Emerald Isle so she jumps at the chance.
Once in Ireland and after the book event, she makes her way to Bushmills where she is welcomed into the open arms of Maeve’s family. She is introduced to the family and invited to dinner where she happens to overhear a heated conversation regarding the family merging their business, thinking nothing off it at the time she banks that little piece of information for later.
The next day she is spurred on with the idea of riding a bike around the village to soak in the Irish beautiful countryside, though she wasn’t banking on finding a body slumped over in car down a country lane! It turned out to be Maeve’s cousin Michael whom she say the night before!
Before Jessica could even give the family the painting from Maeve she finds herself getting involved in finding the killer.
This was a bittersweet read following Lansbury’s death but it was great, and I can’t believe that I have never read one the previous 55 books!
