It's another holiday weekend, and that means another Leslie Meier mystery, this time St. Patrick's Day Murder. As always, don't be fooled by the cartoonish cover. Because in Tinker's Cove, Maine, it isn't all gold and Guinness. There's been another murder, and part-time Pennysaver reporter and sleuth Lucy Stone's got to get to the bottom of it. The victim is an Irishman named Old Dan, and few are losing sleep over his passing. As owner of the aptly named Bilge bar, Old Dan had lots of enemies, including pissed-off (not to mention pissed) patrons, disgruntled employees, and even a family of show folk fresh from the Emerald Isle. Yet unpopular or not, Lucy intends to get to the bottom of Old Dan's death. Especially because this was no ordinary homicide. You've heard of the Headless Horseman. Well, now meet the headless barkeep. That's right. Old Dan's body was discovered sans its noggin. Irish lore starring evil fairies and black crows ups the creepiness factor. But our intrepid Lucy keeps looking for answers and quick, before her own luck runs out.
So whatever you do and whatever you read, make the most of this St. Patrick's Day weekend.
Just don't -- ha ha -- lose your head.
