Description from Goodreads:
"Meet Ireland’s newest daring she’s a bookstore owner, a coffee lover, and a crime writer. Now Mercy McCarthy needs a little Irish luck as she takes on her first case!
After receiving unexpected inheritance from her grandfather, Mercy and her twin sister Lizzie are now the proud owners of a charming antique bookshop in the tiny Irish village of Shamrock Cove. But before they can take in the beautiful view of the sea, one of their neighbors drops dead!
Mercy finds the Judge, a well-respected man who lives next door, dying on his own doorstep. She rushes to help, but with his final words, he accuses Mercy of murder! Most of their new neighbors hear his words and, with suspicion pointing at Mercy, she decides to investigate the case to clear her name.
Searching amongst the Judge’s old books, Mercy uncovers letters proving several of the townsfolk had reason to dislike the judge—but was it the local pub landlord, the kindly cook or neighborly knitter who killed him?
Then Mercy’s chief suspect turns up dead and she receives a threatening note, typed on paper from her own bookstore… Ireland was supposed to be a fresh start for Mercy and Lizzie, but dead bodies keep turning up.
Does Mercy have what it takes to nail the culprit or will the killer close the book on her time in this charming Irish village?"

I haven't read or listened to anything by this author before but I am tempted after listening to the audiobook of this, the first part of a new series.
Mercy and her sister Lizzie have moved from America to Ireland following the death of a grandfather they didn't know they had and having inherited a bookshop and house. All seems to be going well and they appear to be getting on well with their new neighbours when a judge drops dead at a gathering but before he dies, he points the finger at Mercy as being his murderer ... and so it begins.
This book is well written and at a good, steady pace. The characters are really interesting and, again, well written. The mystery is intriguing and kept me guessing with the reveal surprising ... well to me anyway! The narrator was excellent and did a really, really good job of voicing all the characters and keeping my interest
Overall, a really good cosy murder/mystery and a promising start to a new series and I must thank the author, Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts.
