Because my own book about Ireland recently came out, I decided to read the latest in the Murder She Wrote paperback mystery series called "Death on the Emerald Isle," by Terrie Farley Moran. It was another enjoyable read of Jessica Fletcher's sleuthing into a murder, and this time it was in Northern Ireland. Although enjoyable, there are a LOT of characters in this book, and at times, it was a little difficult to remember who is who, especially if you don't read the whole book in one sitting (takes me a week or so). I've enjoyed all of the Murder She Wrote series, especially when the late Donald Bain was writing them. This one was good, but not one of my all-time favorites.
ABOUT THE BOOK: A trip to Northern Ireland becomes unexpectedly grim for Jessica Fletcher in this new entry in the USA Today bestselling Murder, She Wrote series.
Jessica Fletcher is quick to accept an invitation to replace a speaker who couldn’t attend a Book Festival in Belfast, Ireland. When her Cabot Cove neighbor Maeve O'Bannon hears about the trip, she asks Jessica to deliver some paintings to her family in the village of Bushmills. Happy to extend her travels and see more of the Irish countryside, Jessica agrees.The festival goes off without a hitch, and it seems like Jessica is in for a relaxing vacation. But then Maeve’s cousin Michael is discovered dead under suspicious circumstances. Jessica finds herself once again in the midst of a murder investigation, and she’ll have to dig into the O'Bannon family’s secrets to unmask the killer.
