Twin sisters Mercy and Lizzie inherit a bookshop and cottage in Ireland from their grandfather. A grandfather they have never met. After deciding to move to the picture perfect little village of Shamrock Cove, they are shocked to find that crime can be found even in the most beautiful places. When one of their new neighbours dies in front of them - and accuses Mercy of murder - they feel compelled to find out the truth.
As they settle into their new bookshop, they get to know the villagers, and find that secrets lie beneath the surface. The victim was not universally liked. But did any of his neighbours kill him?
Mercy is a mystery writer and uses her acquired skills to help her investigate. Her knowledge on certain subjects puts her in the frame more than once, and the rather attractive local detective sees her as a suspect. Can she convince him of her innocence?
I liked the sisters and the beautiful Irish setting. Seeing the village from the viewpoint of these newcomers worked well, and I found myself immersed in their story. They had very different personalities and different strengths. By pooling these, they made a formidable team. I loved the community element of the story too, and can't wait to be back in Shamrock Cove again.
