As pregnant Siobhán O’Sullivan awaits bringing her new life into the world, she’s bringing new life to her village of Kilbane in County Cork, Ireland, with a music and matchmaking festival. But one matchmaker is about to find out that Cupid’s arrow can be fatal in the latest Irish Village Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Carlene O’Connor.
Synopsis:
Siobhán loves to see the joy playing trad music brings to her brother Ciaran, but his concern that he’ll never find a mate pulls at her heartstrings. So she proposes that Kilbane host a music and matchmaking festival to draw single trad musicians. While renowned matchmaker Liam Noone plays Cupid with his Lucky Book, music—and hopefully love—will fill the pubs and the autumn air.
Turning over his precious Lucky Book to Siobhán for safekeeping, Liam takes the stage to introduce matched musician couples who will kick off the festival in the town square. Suddenly all goes black. When the lights come back on, the matchmaker has met his maker, impaled through the heart with an arrow made from the sharpened bow of a bass.
Was it the fiddle player, the flute player, the drummer, the piper, the squeeze box player, or the bass player who struck a sour note? Garda Siobhán and her husband Macdara must pick up the tempo to make whoever committed this crime of passion face the music…
Review:
This is book 12 of the series! It's hard to believe it has been that long- Siobhán's siblings are all almost grown, as she is ready to have her town first pregnancy- TWINS! Macdara, and his mother, want her to slow down and take it easy, but that's not in her DNA. When a murder occurs on the opening night of a festival SHE planned with her brother, nothing will stop her from investigating, and Mac knows it. As they both work the case, they soon realize nothing is as it seemed, and they don't have one suspect, they have a group of them. With some red herrings thrown in, this is a twisty cozy and well done #12!
