St. Patrick's Day Murder
Leslie Meier
This is one of the Lucy Stone mystery series, which I enjoy. This cozy series features a mom of four/small town newspaper reporter as the amateur sleuth and is set in the quaint New England town of Tinker's Cove, Maine.
In this book the owner of the town's most disreputable bar is found in the harbor - minus his head.
When his brother, an actor of some reknown in Ireland, arrives with his diva wife and imaginative child to take part in the parish church's production of the play Finian's Rainbow, it seems just a bit too pat for coincidence. But there are others who held a grudge against Dan.
These are fun, light reads. I always enjoy them,
One thing bugs me a little, though. In most of the books Lucy ends being rescued by either her husband or some other man. I'd prefer it if she were strong enough, confident enough, and smart enough to get herself out of harmful situations.
Still, , this is a fun series. I especially like that they are almost always set around a holiday or other special occasion.
