Showing results for "The Piper" in International Mystery & Crime

Amidst the pre-wedding whirlwind—scenic horseback rides, beachside dinners, poignant rehearsal toasts—Shayla savors the moments, even as she grapples with leaving her old life behind. When a famous harpist hired to play at Shayla's wedding is murdered, Shayla can't resist diving into the mystery. Luckily, Shayla's crew is ready to help. Park ranger Rylie, ex-police officer Amelia, and tech whiz Telly team up, even as suspicions arise within their own ranks.

In the idyllic Irish village of Ballywick, Shayla Murphy is living her dream. With her charming fiancé Seamus by her side, she's just a week away from the grand opening of the Eyerloch Castle Hotel—a high-class haven she's been tasked with managing. Just when the finishing touches are being made, unexpected visitors in the form of the richest family in Australia descend upon the not-yet-open hotel, seeking luxurious accommodations. When a member of the visiting family turns up dead, the grand opening is the least of Shayla's worries.

Seamus, a down-to-earth park ranger, has always been modest about his background. Living with three roommates and driving a trusty old pickup truck, he never gave Shayla any reason to suspect he was anything but ordinary. Until they land in Ireland, and Shayla discovers he's practically Irish royalty. A holiday that was meant to be filled with festive family fun now carries the weight of public scrutiny. The getting-to-know-you dinner party sets the stage for a complicated holiday. But the celebration takes a dark turn when a guest ends up dead.
