About this listen

An utterly binge-worthy Irish cozy murder mystery

Lady Eleanor Swift is having a grand time cosying up with her husband in Dublin’s traditional pubs, eating their fill of Irish stew and soaking up the craic… Until another body ruins all their plans!

Lady Eleanor Swift is visiting Dublin with her husband Hugh Seldon and butler Clifford to meet Samuel O’Sullivan, a man who may be able to tell her more about the mysterious disappearance of her parents two decades ago. Deciding they should explore the city a little more, they jump at the chance to visit the world-renowned Finnegan’s brewery.

But their taste test of the famous black stout turns deadly when Eleanor spots a body in one of the barrels! The dead man is none other than the owner of the brewery, Fergal Finnegan himself. Sensing a scandal, the head of operations hires The Byron Detective Agency to investigate.

It seems there was no pot of gold at the end of Fergal’s rainbow. Did his debt-ridden younger brother kill him for his inheritance? Did the fact Finnegan wouldn’t leave his wife make his mistress murderous? And was there more to fight about with rival brewer George Gaffney than just profits?

When their chief suspect is found dead only days later and the top-secret formula for a new beer goes missing, the agency is almost thrown off the case. But Eleanor doesn’t give up on justice. Will the luck of the Irish be on her side before the killer catches up with her?

A totally binge-worthy Irish cozy mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Carlene O’Connor!

A wonderfully suspenseful adventure with Lady Elenor Swift and her entourage.
This story drew me in and captivated my attention throughout. Once I had begun I was hooked.
I absolutely loved the immensely strong and feisty Mrs Cullen, and her fortitude.
I am continuously intrigued by the depth of plotting that goes into these books, and am waiting on tenterhooks for the next lead to Ellie’s parents.

Relentlessly intriguing and entertaining

Timeline factors and Ellie hardly ever shows effects from action scenes and lacks humility at times
