Publisher's summary

After a long streak of avoiding murder investigations, Dublin limo driver Megan Malone thought her life had finally settled . . . but even her Irish luck can't keep her out of trouble forever.

It's been over a year since Megan found herself entangled in a murder—much to everyone's relief, including her girlfriend Jelena and Detective Paul Bourke. So when a body of a young woman quite literally lands in her lap at her favorite Dublin cafe, Megan tries to do the right thing and leave the crime-solving to the police so she can enjoy the St. Patrick's Day weekend. After all, she has no connection to the victim. Or does she?

Megan's latest client, world-renowned romance novelist Claire Woodward, is fascinated by Megan's own history of catching killers. Claire also just happens to be the murder victim's literary mentor. So maybe Megan can just sort of stay on the periphery of the case while trying to help out? Just a wee bit without causing too much fuss? Even Detective Bourke would approve since he has personal reasons not to trust Claire. The investigation leads Megan to the victim's writing group, who think that Claire has plagiarized the poor young lady's work. And when another member of the group is found dead, Megan will have to step up her sleuthing before the killer decides to write her off for good.

Death in Irish Accents is a fun cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I can't wait for the next book.

Hope the next one is better

Not one of the better ones in the series. The arguing with the girl friend parts got old.

No mystery, just 1 long apology & scolding

So the author put Megan in what was clearly a contrived lesbian relationship which had no physical or emotional affection. Kisses on the top of the head, or the back of the hand. Really? It feels more like box was checked off on a publisher’s list than an honest relationship.

And the relationship amount to a book-long nag from the lover that Megan better not investigate this murder or she’d be dumped. Megan grovels & pleads & assures & apologizes. That’s pretty much the whole book.

Gone is the strong, competent & witty retired Army medic. In her place we get miss-apologetic. And the fun, interesting and well fleshed out characters in Megan’s life? Ms Murphy has turned them into something as bland and tastelessly uninteresting as vegetables boiled to a mushy grey.

Pity, the first 3 books were a promising start to a new series.

Too much relationship drama

I usually like these books but the addition of a girlfriend that doesn't want to accept that she is very curious and likes to follow things through. And it felt terrible listening to the main character constantly apologizing over and over and over again.
