Book Description
Not many people in Tinker's Cove, Maine, knew Old Dan Malone. The grizzled barkeep's social circle was limited to the rough-hewn lobstermen and other assorted toughs that frequented his bar. But when his body is found bobbing in the town's icy harbor, Lucy Stone makes getting to know more about Old Dan a priority. Local musician Dave Reilly insists Old Dan conned a winning lottery ticket worth five grand from him. Handyman Brian Donohue claims that Old Dan stiffed him for repair work he'd done at the bar. The confusion surrounding the death is only compounded by the arrival of actor Dylan Malone, Old Dan's brother and a prominent, if fading, attraction of the Dublin stage. Dylan has come to direct the production of "Finian's Rainbow," the featured event at Our Lady of Hope's annual St. Patrick's Day extravaganza. Was Old Dan killed by someone he'd cheated or someone he'd loved? While Lucy can't be sure, one thing is abundantly clear--the stage is set for a murder mystery with a killer ending! "Warm and homespun characters, plenty of seaside ambience and a fast-moving plot make this perfect winter cozy." --Publishers Weekly

Book Description
THIS EXCLUSIVE MURDER MYSTERY PARTY KIT WILL WORK FOR GROUPS OF SEVEN TO 50. You WON'T NEED to copy anything. Simply take apart this 8.5" X 11" book and you'll have what you need to orchestrate the mystery. Can you solve the case called "Murder Most Green"? Flaherty's True Green Plant Nursery has been serving the City of Blarney for 100 years since Pader Flaherty arrived in town and built a greenhouse to grow plants which were popular in his native Ireland. Through the years, operations expanded and, ten years ago, Pader's grandson Patrick became majority owner of a business that is still family-run. Today, Flaherty's is a major producer of shamrocks, supplying the entire state with the plant, especially for "the wearin' of the green." Although rumors persist that family members have been at odds with each other for years, the family has maintained an outward calm, denying all rumors of a rift. Last night, family, the nursery staff, and the nursery's best customer gathered at the Blarney Inn to celebrate the nursery's 100th anniversary of operation. Patrick Flaherty was the center of attention as the nursery's milestone was toasted. He was supposed to spend the night at the Inn with members of his family but, this morning, his body was found in the pond at the rear of the nursery. Tonight was to have been another party - this one celebrating St. Patrick's Day, with Patrick in attendance as the honored guest. Instead, it will be Patrick's wake. Who knows what will happen when you and the others gather to remember the life of Patrick Flaherty? The suspects . . . Fiona Reilly Flaherty - Wife of the deceased. This was the second marriage for both Patrick and Fiona. They met two years ago while Patrick was in Ireland, and were married six months later in Blarney. Seamus Flaherty - Son of the deceased. He has never married and has spent his whole life in his father's house. He will inherit the nursery upon Patrick's death, the latest in a line of Flahertys who have owned the nursery for the past 100 years. Molly Flaherty - Daughter of the deceased and Seamus' twin sister. Last year, she returned to Blarney after a 17-year absence. She has never told anyone about her life during her sojourn. Sean Flaherty - First cousin of the deceased and a native of County Cork. He arrived in Blarney four weeks ago to "complete a task." His family members consider him to be a bit eccentric because of his beliefs. Rory O'Casey - The operations manager at the nursery. Although he had limited experience with plants, he was hired by Patrick to run the nursery. He lives in a small cottage on the nursery grounds. Kathleen Moriarty - An employee of the nursery. She was born in Ireland and has worked for Patrick Flaherty for four years. She is a self-educated expert on flowers and exotic plants. Megan Sheffield - The nursery's best customer. An aficionado of flora, she visits the nursery weekly to select fresh-cut flowers and potted plants to decorate her flat in Blarney. ------------------ This complete Murder Mystery Party Kit from Mysteries on the Net contains everything you need to host your own event at home or in a large facility.

New York Times-Bestselling Author: A feud between two competitive moms may have turned fatal in the “engaging cozy series” set in small-town Maine (Publishers Weekly).

At least she gets to kick back and enjoy a fancy Mother's Day brunch with her brood—that is, before the festivities are interrupted by a nasty scene courtesy of Barbara Hume and Tina Nowak. Opposites in every way, these mean moms have only one thing in common: the need to best each other at every turn, using their teenage daughters as pawns in elaborate games of one-upmanship. But even after witnessing the women’s claw-sharpening rituals, Lucy never expects to see actual blood spilled—until Tina is shot dead on the public tennis court… “As charming and enjoyable as ever.”—Romantic Times “Lucy Stone is an endearing sleuth.”—Dorothy Cannell

Part-time reporter Lucy Stone isn’t about to put all her eggs in one basket during a frantic Easter in Tinker’s Cove—especially when it comes to cracking a deadly mystery . . . Known for its cheerful staff and elaborate annual Easter Bonnet Contest, the Heritage House senior center regularly attracts new residents and positive press. But once the town’s retired librarian, Miss Julia Tilley, checks in to recover from an illness, Lucy sees a side of the facility that isn’t quite so perfect and pristine. And the place may soon be making headlines for different reasons following an unexplained disappearance . . . Lucy can’t fathom how Agnes Neal could go missing from assisted living over a silly Easter bonnet contest, or why few seem concerned as signs point to foul play. A retired journalist with an independent mind, Agnes had an eye for details and little interest in conforming to catty cliques or rules set by her caretakers—traits that threatened some and angered others . . . While police stall the investigation without answers, Lucy realizes backstabbing has no age limit when alarming parallels bloom between her daughter’s college frenemies and social circles at Heritage House. Gathering clues as flimsy as a half-eaten milk chocolate bunny, Lucy must discover what happened to Agnes—before her own story becomes another springtime tragedy left unsolved.
