Pub owner Maura Donovan may have Irish kin, but she doesn’t seem to have the luck of the Irish. Who could have foreseen that bringing live music back to Sullivan’s Pub would lead to a dead musician?
Summer is ending in County Cork, Ireland, and with it the tourist season. Expat Maura Donovan is determined to keep Sullivan’s Pub in the black as the days grow shorter—but how? When she hears that the place was once a hot spot for Irish musicians who’d come play in the back room, she wonders if bringing back live music might be Sullivan’s salvation.
As word gets out, legendary musicians begin to appear at the pub, and the first impromptu jam session brings in scores of music lovers. But things hit a sour note when Maura finds a dead musician in the back room the next morning. With a slew of potential suspects, it’s going to take more than a pint and a good think to force a murderer to face the music.

      When American Maura Donovan took over Sullivan's Pub in County Cork, Ireland, she knew it would be a bit of an uphill battle. As the summer tourist season ends and her receipts decline, Maura wonders how she's going to stay profitable. Upon learning that Sullivan's used to be a hot spot for live music, she is determined to give it a go. The first gathering of famous Irish musicians attracts a crowd of patrons, but the next morning Maura discovers a performer dead in her pub. As the list of suspects grows longer, Maura knows that she will have to step up to protect her business before tragedy plays another sour note. VERDICT Connolly's in-depth knowledge of the Irish countryside sets the stage for the third book (after Scandal in Skibbereen) in her Gaelic-themed series. With a lush, colorful setting and sharply drawn characters, this mystery is sure to please cozy enthusiasts.
