“When I’d ditched my cheating husband and stagnant career in the San Francisco PD to open a private investigation agency in Ireland, I hadn’t envisioned ‘purveyor of butt bleach’ being part of my job description.” When ex-cop-turned-P.I. Maggie Doyle scores a lucrative undercover job at the makeup counter at a fashionable Galway department store, she expects discounted lipstick and an easy … discounted lipstick and an easy paycheck.
She should know better.
After an altercation with a customer leads to a dead body in Maggie’s bathtub, she realizes there’s more to the department store case than missing cash. Can she catch the killer before the holidays? Or will the festive season end in an explosion of tinsel and turmoil?

I loved this book, there is so much going on that I was hooked until the very end. I loved it because of the great characters. They are like able characters, very down to earth and often humours, especially the assistant Lenny with all his disguises. They make a great team with Maggie’s knack of finding bodies and working clues to Lenny’s enthusiasm and Tec skills. But it is not only the main characters that work because they are also supported by a number of friends and family, who are just as interesting. There is home life drama but rather than take over the story it helped enhance the mystery and I like the small town feel of the book. The mystery was good and took lots of different directions as it unfolded. It was a well thought out plot that worked and a book I will be adding to my audio book collection, I liked it that much.
It’s a good job Maggie owns her own private investigation agency because she wouldn’t last long in a department store. Especially when she sells the wrong item to a customer and the customer wants to complain. However, rather than get fired, she is told to work faster at finding out which employee is stealing from the company. The investigation hits a road block when the angry customer is found dead in the a apartment she is sharing with her assistant while they both work under cover cases. Does someone at the department store know she is investigating them? A late night stake out leads to clues and another dead body and the simple case get very complicated. With the police taking over the case, Maggie and Lenny are let go and they return to there home town Whisper island to join in with holiday celebrations. But trouble follows them and they get caught up in a bank heist. Are the two cases connected? Both involved Santa disguise. Maggie is determined to find out.
A very good story. Had me hooked and trying to figure out what was happening. Getting to see old friends and meet new in a Country I’ve always wanted to visit. What a treat!
Fun and Funny Cozy Mystery
I have read several books in this series- not in order. While each builds on the previous stories, each stands alone better than most. The series centers on a young ex-pat living in Ireland surrounded by extended family. The back-story is fresh and fun. The main plot is a cozy murder mystery. It is all very clean and not gruesome in any manner. This is a high quality story without any contrivance like anonymous notes that solve the mystery. It is basic police work, instincts and luck!
I received this book (ARC) at no cost and voluntarily chose to post my review.
Lenny Lenny Lenny… His antics kept me laughing. This was a great addition to the Movie Club Mystery Series.
I was gifted an ARC for an honest review.
