About the book
Kate Buckley is back in her Irish-themed hometown for the summer, only to find herself in a tough situation when her ex-boyfriend becomes the main suspect in his fiancée's murder. Determined to clear his name for the sake of their daughters, Kate must navigate through the chaos and danger in town.
Returning to Shamrock, Massachusetts with her daughters Maeve and Bliz, Kate is faced with a decision about whether they should permanently move back. As the town gears up for the annual Great Shamrock Fair to attract tourists after a recent murder during St. Patrick’s Week, Kate's family's B&B, the Buckley House, is busy preparing for the event.
When Ian, Kate's ex, arrives from Ireland to perform at the festival with his band and his fiancée Fallon is found dead at the fairgrounds, Kate's plans for a peaceful summer are shattered. Despite her reservations about Ian, Kate is convinced of his innocence. With the help of her eldest daughter and her father, the former police chief of Shamrock, Kate sets out to uncover the truth behind Fallon's murder.
As the town buzzes with excitement and her sister Colleen focuses on keeping the Miss Shamrock contests going, Kate races against time to solve the case before the Great Shamrock Fair is ruined and the town's hopes for a thriving summer fade away.
