Although Dublin limo driver Megan Malone has been involved in enough cases to be nicknamed “the murder driver,” to the relief of her girlfriend Jelena and Detective Paul Bourke, it’s been a year since the last case. She’s in her favorite café, Accents, when a woman’s body tumbles out of a closet. Megan doesn’t know the victim, although she’s quickly identified as Blathnaid O’Leary. Megan tries to stay uninvolved, in this murder; she even takes a job driving American romance writer Claire, who asks for her personally. After a tour, Megan takes her new client to Accents, where she’s to meet with a writers’ group, and a young woman she’s mentoring named Blathnaid. Despite her curiosity, Megan insists on taking her scheduled vacation time to support Jelena at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. But the couple still ends up meeting with the writing group and Claire, now accused of plagiarizing Blathnaid’s writing. When another death occurs, and Megan was the last to see the victim, she realizes she’s not only of interest to the Garda, but also to a killer.
VERDICT With a whiny amateur sleuth, this fourth in a series will be of interest primarily where book three, Death of an Irish Mummy, was popular.
