Welcome to Litsy!

Not many people in Tinker�s Cove, Maine, knew Old Dan Malone. The grizzled barkeep�s social circle was limited to the rough-hewn lobstermen and other assorted toughs that frequented his bar. But when his body is found bobbing in the town�s icy harbor, Lucy Stone makes getting to know more about Old Dan a priority. Local musician Dave Reilly insists Old Dan conned a winning lottery ticket worth five grand from him. Handyman Brian Donohue claims that Old Dan stiffed him for repair work he�d done at the bar. The confusion surrounding the death is only compounded by the arrival of actor Dylan Malone, Old Dan�s brother and a prominent, if fading, attraction of the Dublin stage. Dylan has come to direct the production of �Finian�s Rainbow,� the featured event at Our Lady of Hope�s annual St. Patrick�s Day extravaganza. Was Old Dan killed by someone he�d cheated or someone he�d loved? While Lucy can�t be sure, one thing is abundantly clear�the stage is set for a murder mystery with a killer ending! �Warm and homespun characters, plenty of seaside ambience and a fast-moving plot make this perfect winter cozy.� �Publishers Weekly
