Killer Croquet on the Emerald Isle

Four friends play a deadly game of croquet on their tour of Ireland. . . and another husband bites the dust. The Arkansas 4 win a trip to the Emerald Isle, and dream of castle ruins, tricky fairies, and the hunt for family roots. But when a wedding ends in murder, our amateur sleuth befriends the Garda Síochána to help solve the crime. When is a maid not a maid? That’s the riddle she must solve before the killer can be brought to justice as the handsome Garda hopes.

Suspects mount and so do the bodies, threatening to ruin their visit to the Emerald Isle. Between the croquet theme and the banshee screams, our sleuth realizes her premonition-like dreams have followed them to Ireland and the land of lore, legend, and flannel. A cozy mystery for the mature and modern reader, book 4 in the Cardboard Cottage Mystery series is another standalone adventure featuring the escapades of four strong southern women who are anything but cookie-cutter sweet as they pursue fun and the hunt for whodunnit. These fictional stories are based in the Ozarks of Arkansas in The Natural State, with every other book in the Cardboard Cottage Mystery series featuring a bucket list travel destination.
