Dead in Dublin
Dead in Dublin | Catie Murphy
14 posts | 11 read | 6 to read
In Dublins fair city, where the girls are so pretty, murder occurs at the feet of sweet Molly Malone . . . Ferrying tourists around Dublin for the Leprechaun Limo Service makes quite a change after years in the military. Still, Megan Malone is enjoying her life in Ireland. She likes the scenery, the easy pace, the quirky, quick-witted locals. Everythingexcept having one of her clients drop dead at the statue of fabled fishmonger, Molly Malone. Most restaurant critics notch up their share of enemies. Elizabeth Darr, however, was a well-loved international star. She and her husband, Simon, had just had dinner when Elizabeth collapsed, and spoiled seafood is the first suspect. The restaurants owner, worried her business is doomed, begs Megan to look into it. Between her irate boss and a handsome Garda whos both amused and annoyed by her persistence, Megan has her hands full even before shes cajoled into taking care of two adorable Jack Russell puppies (which she is almost definitely not keeping). But if cockles and mussels arent to blame, can Megan find the real culprit . . .before another fishy death occurs?

#cbbc I mostly enjoyed this book- the setting, main character and mystery were all a win for me. There were a few too many extra characters that i felt spread things out a bit more than i like.
The part i liked most- I was inspired by the book to listen to the Sinead O‘conner version of Molly Malone and like everything she sings it was beautiful and a little heart breaking- but so glad to have listened to it ❤️

August 2024 Book #4

Megan moved from US to Ireland and she is working in a Limo Service. One day one famous client collapsed after she ate in a restaurant. Megan is a friend of the owners of this restaurant and she accepted to help them in the investigation of the circumstances of this death due to the bad impact this incident can have to the restaurant and because one employee was a suspect of this murder⬇️2.8/3⭐️

Gissy As expected, Megan will be involved in the murder investigation, there will be romance and case will be resolved with her help☺️

Story was a little slow with not so much excitement but I‘m a sucker stories set in Ireland and I love cozy mysteries so I will try book #2🤷🏽‍♀️

I took some stuff to my favourite Little Free Library yesterday and came away with a cozy mystery, which I started over supper. I‘m about halfway through now and I‘m having a great time! This is exactly what I needed.

Utterly delightful! I read this during #StayHome24in48 #24in48 and absolutely enjoyed it. The ending of the book turns into darker topics, so not 100% cozy feeling, but this is still definitely a cozy mystery. And, what‘s not to kind - Ireland and puppies and a cute detective. First in a series of which I look forward to reading.

#Xander is an excellent model - kitty pictures help during these times! #catsoflitsy

Librarybelle This is a total #CoverCrush for me, and one of the reasons I bought it! A friend then told me I had to read it, so it was perfect! #Booked2020 @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft 5y

#StayHome24in48 checkin: finished my reread of The Secret of Chimneys for last month‘s #AgathaChristieClubR2 and moving on to a last minute add to my stack, the tagged book. Over dinner, I also started to read Red, White, and Royal Blue which is SO good!

My cats have been such good companions today. #Xander is appreciating another nap round on my lap. #catsoflitsy

The first cosy mystery from Catie Murphy does not disappont! With an American (relocated to Ireland) protagonist, a convincing reason for the protagonist to be involved, and an excellent supporting cast, I really enjoyed this. I did not solve the mystery too fast, and I‘m already keen to read the next installment.
5/5

Megan is an American limo driver, living in Dublin, when one of her clients dies suddenly. She gets drawn into finding out what happened, as it initially looks like it may be food poisoning contracted at her friend‘s restaurant.

The mystery definitely kept me interested, and the use of an American as a main character meant that it was possible for her to “explain“ Irishisms without annoying Irish people (like me) Great descriptions of Dublin too.
