Murder at the Blarney Bash

A Beacon Bakeshop Mystery, Book 5

De: Darci Hannah

Narrado por: Amy Melissa Bentley

Follow the aroma of shamrock sugar cookies to the Beacon Bakeshop, a lighthouse on the shores of Lake Michigan where amateur sleuth Lindsey Bakewell is busy preparing for Beacon Harbor's St. Patrick's Day festivities—with a little help from her adorable Newfoundland, Wellington, of course!

Lindsey is baking up a storm—shamrock sugar cookies, Guinness chocolate cupcakes, Irish soda bread—for the well-timed grand opening of the Irish import gift shop, the Blarney Stone, owned by her boyfriend's uncle, Finnigan O'Connor, recently relocated from the Emerald Isle.

But it's Uncle Finn himself who seems full of blarney when he gleefully reveals a pot of real gold he claims he stole from an actual leprechaun. And Finn's fortune takes a turn for the worse when he's arrested for the bludgeoning of a small unidentified man dressed as a leprechaun—the murder weapon alleged to be his now-missing shillelagh.

Eccentric Uncle Finn may enjoy believing he's outwitted a leprechaun, but he would never be so deluded as to clobber one with his walking stick. Now Lindsey will need more than the luck of the Irish to seize a golden opportunity to catch the real killer . . .

Good Mystery, But Not So Cozy.

I am giving this 3.5-4 stars, because the murder mystery was good and surprised me. But it would have gotten a higher review if the author killed off Kennedy!! I cannot stand that stuck-up, selfish brat of a woman. She is not a good friend to Lindsey and doesn’t deserve her. I think if this attitude of hers keeps up, I most likely won’t continue the series. This is supposed to be a cozy mystery NOT an irritating story where I personally want to kill off one of the main characters.

Murder at the Blarney Bash

A fun St. Patrick's Day themed book. Looking forward to listening to it every March.

Always entertaining

I did enjoy the story, but, the word "leprechaun" was used SO many times that the pronunciation started to sound distorted after a while. A bit off putting.

It was a great read....

I enjoyed this story. The narrative was great. How is did the Irish accent as well as Kennedy's British accent was amazing. it a must read.

Good continuation of the series

This was a good continuation of the series, but different as the characters in town that were involved were different than all the normal characters.
