Murder at an Irish Chipper

It’s hotter than usual in Ireland, but Garda Siobhán O’Sullivan and her husband, Detective Sergeant Macdara Flannery, decide to take a delayed honeymoon trip to Lahinch, a seaside resort, and Siobhán brings all five of her siblings along. They have plans to help support a fish and chip shop, but they are too late. There’s a line outside the locked door when they arrive, Macdara and Siobhán insist on a wellness check, and they find the owner, Vera, dead, covered in flour with a vinegar bottle beside her. It looks like murder to Siobhán, but it’s not her case. Macdara teases that she doesn’t know how to holiday. Siobhán is intrigued by the locked doors to the shop, Vera’s war with her ex-husband, who is opening a new chipper across the street, and stories of Vera’s unusual behavior in the weeks leading up to her murder. When another murder occurs, Siobhan and Macdara are both assigned to investigate in a town where even the local garda is personally involved with the other suspects.
