In the first installment of bestselling author Carlene O'Connor's new Home to Ireland Mystery series, New York Tara Meehan's first trip to Galway, Ireland may be her last.

Jump right into the beauty and splendor--and murder--of Tara's Irish adventure! With a gorgeous setting, suspicious characters, and a deadly mystery--Murder in Galway will have you packing your bags...

Tara never imagined her introduction to Ireland like this--carrying her mam's ashes to honor her final request: "Tell Johnny I'm sorry...Take me home." She's never met her mam's estranged brother, Johnny Meehan, who owns an architectural salvage business in Galway. Although Tara is immediately charmed by the medieval city, the locals seem wary of strangers and a gypsy warns her that death is all around.

When Tara arrives at her uncle's stone cottage, the prophesy seems true. A dead man lies sprawled over the threshold in a pool of blood. The victim turns out to be Johnny's wealthiest client, and her missing uncle is the garda's number-one suspect. In trying to find Johnny and solve the crime, Tara uncovers her mam and uncle's troubled past. But with a desperate killer about, she had better mind herself, or they'll be tossing her ashes in Galway Bay...

Praise for Murder in Galway

"The characters and setting are memorable, and Tara is a promising tentpole character. There's a nice mix of believable emotion, deft sleuthing, and new relationships developing as the story progresses. The threads of the mystery are expertly handled, with O'Connor throwing the shade of suspicion on one character after another for a richly complicated mystery. It's not often a cozy makes me tear up, but Tara's authentic grief at the loss of her mother (and another loss revealed in the novel) makes a nice foundation for the character, one that gives her some real depth. Tara is basically starting over and it's intriguing to be along for the ride." --Mystery Scene

"An entertaining start to a new cozy mystery series by Carlene O'Connor, who also writes the successful Irish Village Mysteries. It's challenging to write two series with a similar setting and make them completely different, but O'Connor has pulled it off brilliantly." --Suspense Magazine

"With romance, a magical setting and plenty of crazy characters, readers will be swept away in this new series." --Parkersburg News & Sentinel

"Murder in Galway is a great start to what looks to be an entertaining Irish cozy mystery series. Carlene O'Connor has created engaging characters, a vibrant atmosphere, and a darned good mystery to unravel. I can't wait for the next installment!"
