Squiring a self-proclaimed heiress around Dublin 

has got limo driver Megan Malone's Irish up--until she finds the woman dead...

Synopsis:

American-born Cherise Williams believes herself to be heir to an old Irish earldom, and she's come to Dublin to claim her heritage. Under the circumstances, Megan's boss Olga at Leprechaun Limos has no qualms about overcharging the brash Texas transplant for their services. Megan chauffeurs Cherise to the ancient St. Michan's Church, where the woman intends to get a wee little DNA sample from the mummified earls--much to the horror of the priest.

But before she can desecrate the dead, Cherise Williams is murdered--just as her three daughters arrive to also claim their birthright. With rumors of famine-era treasure on the lands owned by the old Williams family and the promise of riches for the heirs, greed seems a likely motive. But when Olga surprisingly becomes the Garda's prime suspect, Megan attempts to steer the investigation away from her boss and solve the murder with the help of the dashing Detective Bourke. With a killer who's not wrapped too tight, she'll need to proceed with caution--or she could go from driving a limo to riding in a hearse...

Review:

This is one of my new fav series! Megan is the person we'd love to be- an American transplant in Ireland, getting to know all the local scenes, and making a great group of friends. yes, she may have the proverbial boss from hell, but in this book, they come to terms. It's an interesting book with a murder that revolves around a supposed genealogy that isn't proven. What secrets are being kept, and who wants to see them kept? It's a fun romp and an uber quick read, as you wn't want to put it down until it ends!

About the Author:

Catie Murphy, who has written numerous award-winning Fantasy and Sci Fi books under the pseudonym C. E. Murphy, began writing around age six, when she submitted three poems to a school publication. The teacher producing the magazine selected (inevitably) the one she thought was by far the worst, but also told her--a six-year-old kid--to keep writing, which she has. She has also held the usual grab bag of jobs often seen in an authorial biography, including public library volunteer (at ages 9 and 10; it's clear she was doomed to a career involving books), archival assistant, cannery worker, and web designer. Writing books is better. She was born and raised in Alaska, and now lives with her family in her ancestral homeland of Ireland. Visit her at Mizkit.com.
