Cottage in the Act
(2026)(The sixth book in the Irish Tearoom Mysteries series)
A novel by Jan Fields
When a local man is discovered dead after telling stories of faeries in the woods, Penny Cavanagh seeks to separate fact from fable.
Penny Cavanagh loves nearly everything about the quaint village of Blarney Green, especially the way almost everyone in town treats her like one of their own even though she’s been absent for a few decades. Unfortunately, the fun and festive atmosphere at Fightin’ Fiddles takes a bitter turn one evening when a handful of patrons begin teasing a down-on-his-luck local named Matthew Malone—and things become especially bleak the following morning when Matthew is discovered dead in a derelict cottage by the local walking club.
Although initial reports indicate the man died of exposure at the tumbledown house known as the miser’s cottage, Penny and her cousin, Nora, soon uncover clues that indicate foul play. When unsettling events begin hitting too close to home, however, Penny must decide whether to pursue a murderer or listen to Finn and keep herself and her family safe from danger. If Penny isn’t careful, she just might wind up as another skeleton in the killer’s closet.
This clever whodunit from Annie’s Attic's Irish Tearoom Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, Irish settings, female friendships, and light romance.
