In the fourth installment in Carlene O'Connor's USA Today bestselling Irish Village Mystery Series, competing card sharps stir up Siobhán O'Sullivan's quiet Irish village as a poker tournament turns into a game of Hangman...

Carlene O’Connor ups the ante in her bestselling Irish Village Mystery series, a perfect cozy for fans of Sheila Connolly, Padraig O’Hannon, and Sara Rosett.
 
In the small village of Kilbane in County Cork, for a cuppa tea or a slice of brown bread, you go to Naomi’s Bistro, managed by the many siblings of the lively O'Sullivan brood. For a pint or a game of darts—or for the poker tournament that's just come to town—it’s the pub you want.
 
One player’s reputation precedes him: Eamon Foley, a tinker out of Dublin, called the Octopus for playing like he has eight hands under the table. But when Foley is found at the end of a rope, swinging from the rafters of Rory Mack’s pub, it’s time for the garda to take matters into their own hands. Macdara Flannery would lay odds it’s a simple suicide—after all, there’s a note and the room was locked. But Siobhán suspects foul play, as does Foley’s very pregnant widow. Perhaps one of Foley’s fellow finalists just raised the stakes to life and death.
 
With conflicting theories on the crime—not to mention the possibility of a proposal—tensions are running high between Siobhán and Macdara. Soon it’s up to Siobhán to call a killer’s bluff, but if she doesn’t play her cards right, she may be the next one taken out of the game . . .

Praise for Murder in an Irish Pub

Praise for the Irish Village Mystery Series

"This entertaining combination of Maeve Binchy's old-world Irish charm and Janet Evanovich's roguish humor is a smart, fast-paced read. Devotees of the Hibernian mysteries of Dicey Deere and M.C. Beaton will toast this debut with a pint of Guinness. Sláinte!"--Library Journal on Murder in an Irish Village

"A lively debut...The cheeky and close-knit O'Sullivans are sure to appeal to cozy fans, who will also appreciate the warmth and spirit of the people of Kilbane."--Publishers Weekly on Murder in an Irish Village

"The O'Sullivan six are back in the second Irish Village Mystery. A celebrity wedding provides the perfect backdrop of drama and deception to plague the matrimonial festivities...The clues are logical, the packing perfect and the ending well-done. This is an overall delightful mystery delivered with Irish wit and charm."--RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars on Murder at an Irish Wedding

"The mystery has plenty of suspects to choose from and a murderer not easily discovered. The Irish background is a character itself as Siobhan describes ancient buildings and the history of the town for the visitors. Readers will want this to be a long running series in order to keep up with Siobhan and the rest of the O'Sullivans."--Kings River Life on Murder at an Irish Wedding

"A fascinating setting, interesting characters and a well-thought-out plot make Murder in an Irish Churchyard a very good mystery novel."--The Burlington Post on Murder in an Irish Churchyard
