A Cozy Mystery Set in Ireland

After inheriting her grandmother’s cottage, Mags Murray moves from the States to rural Ireland to embark on a new life. Her odd seasonal jobs won’t pay for the needed repairs on her home, so Mags is determined to become a full-time genealogist, following in her grandmother’s footsteps. She starts by organizing a DNA support group that encourages members to share research tips and provide moral support to frustrated family historians.

Mags soon lands her first client, but not the kind she’d expected. A group member, Aidan, hires Mags to find a stolen family heirloom—a valuable unpublished manuscript written by a famous Irish author. Shortly after hiring her, Aidan also turns up missing. His brother hires Mags and her sidekick, Biddy, to find both Aidan and the manuscript. He guarantees them a cut of the manuscript’s sale price. Rather than spending the money on an exotic trip as she would have in the past, Mags dreams of buying a shiny new riding lawn mower and a fuel tank.

Will the money they stand to make be worth the risk of uncovering a dark family secret and chasing down forgers, an ex-con, and other dodgy suspects?

Ratings and reviews

Who doesn't love a mystery based in Ireland? Especially when it involves two fun-loving childhood friends solving it! Mags and Biddy are joined by some lovable - and some not so lovable - characters to keep the story interesting. I'm looking forward to book three in the series!

I'm absolutely loving this genealogy mystery series! Mags and Biddy make me laugh and the mystery kept me guessing until the end. Cannot wait to read the next book!
