About this ebook

Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying...

Bookstore owner and witch Lily Michaels has a never-ending list of to-do items as the maid of honor for her best friends’ upcoming St. Patrick’s Day wedding. The last thing she has time for is another mystery. But with a missing wedding dress, the discovery of a pair of leprechaun boots, and a body in a bathtub, she’s ready to mesh her love of puzzles and a little magic to help solve the crime. Even if her fiancé —Gage Erikson of the Pembroke Cove police department— is determined to keep her out of trouble and safe.

Good luck with that. 

Lily is going to need more than the luck of the Irish to solve the murder while a group of treasure hunters, friends of the deceased, are in town. Only they’re not grieving. They’re focused on finding a pirate captain’s gold, which—according to legend—the rocky coast of Pembroke Cove keeps hidden…and is only accessible during three days in March.

Will Lily’s luck hold with a wedding in shambles and a murderer skulking in the shadows? She needs to follow the clues to solve the case but can her witchy skills save her when the final clue leads her to the murderer?

Leprechauns and Larceny is the sixth novel in A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series, although each book can be read as a standalone—a sweet and clean cozy mystery with a guarantee that the culprit is caught. Happy reading!

Ratings and reviews

This author's books are well written, well thought out with interesting story lines and loveable characters. She also does not follow the Stupidity Formula that is so common nowadays with characters that cannot communicate, and act and think stupid. There aren't any silly misunderstandings.

I've read a lot of books written by Lucinda Race; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is the sixth book in the Bookstore Cozy Mystery Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Lily; she’s a witch and is planning her best friend’s wedding when there is a murder; now she’s trying to solve the murder and still plan the wedding at the same time.

This is a super paranormal cozy mystery.. I enjoyed it.. It is clever and interesting, with a bit of romance and fun.. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
