Murder at Harbour’s Edge: A Cassie and Skelly Cozy Mystery - Book 2 (Cassie and Skelly Cozy Mystery Series)
About
Cassie senses lies. Skelly smells trouble. Kilshannon has plenty of both.
Cassie Evans is settling nicely into life in Kilshannon. She has a family she never knew existed, a handsome Irishman who seems interested in sticking around, and a six-hundred-year-old púca disguised as an Irish Wolfhound who has opinions about nearly everything.
For once, life is looking pretty good.
Except for one thing.
Her father, Keegan O’Leary, is still trapped somewhere between worlds, and Cassie is running out of time to figure out how to bring him home. The answers are buried in a centuries-old curse, a mysterious poem, and secrets no one seems quite ready to explain.
As if that weren’t enough, a local fisherman turns up dead.
Rory Dunne’s death might have been dismissed as a tragic accident—except his missing boat is found with signs that someone deliberately tried to sink it. And Cassie’s inconvenient ability to sense when people aren’t telling the truth tells her there’s more to Rory’s death than anyone realizes.
It turns out Rory had been asking questions of his own, digging through old harbor records and poking into secrets some of Kilshannon’s residents would much rather leave buried.
With the Harbour Festival approaching, suspects multiplying, a father she’s determined to bring home, and Skelly looking for opportunities to add to his good-deed tally, Cassie has more than enough to keep her busy. Unfortunately, staying out of a Garda investigation isn’t one of her particular talents.
Now Cassie and Skelly are following a trail that stretches into Kilshannon’s past—and someone is determined to make sure they don’t reach the end of it.
Because in a village full of old friendships, old grudges, and very long memories, the truth can be a dangerous thing to dredge up.
