The Missing Will: an Irish Village Cozy Mystery with Amateur Sleuth

A contested inheritance, a forged will, and a carer's death on an icy lane. Records don't lie, even when the people who wrote them do.December comes in hard across Connemara, and Bridget Mannion is buried before the ground has properly frozen. The church is full. So is the house, because the family has already begun to measure it. Then the will is read, and it says something nobody in Duncarragh expected it to say.When the woman who nursed Bridget through her last months is found dead on the ice of Headland Lane, the Gardaí call it a bad night and a bad road. Fiona Byrne, who has run the village shop long enough to know exactly who was where, starts instead with the paper: the dates, the witnesses, the ink, and the parish drawer where the answer has been filed all along.The fourth Fiona Byrne Village Mystery. A dying woman's wish to put things right, a hand that could not disguise its own habits, and a village that would rather leave the dead in peace.
