Final Resting Lace
(2026)(The seventh book in the Irish Tearoom Mysteries series)
A novel by Elizabeth Penney
Mayhem ensues after a woman is electrocuted at a recently reopened inn—and Penny Cavanagh suspects it’s more than a tragic accident.
On a beautiful May day, Penny Cavanagh is particularly pleased to be serving treats and drinks from The Merry Teapot at the elegant Darcy Manor, a family estate-turned-inn hosting the prestigious Irish Lace League’s latest conference. However, misfortune rains on Penny’s parade when the league’s leading expert gets electrocuted in a recently renovated bathroom and the authorities suspect foul play.
Penny’s sympathies immediately fall to Darcy Manor’s enterprising young owner, Teagan Harrigan, who not only stands to suffer professionally if the inn’s reputation is ruined but personally when local law enforcement arrests her husband, Jamie, for the crime. As Penny’s investigation progresses, everything from the intended murder victim to Darcy Manor’s true heir is called into question. Unfortunately, she winds up unraveling the threads of the case faster than she can tie them off, and she soon lands in the killer’s crosshairs. Can Penny find a ray of hope for Jamie and Teagan, or will the case’s silver linings be tarnished by more tragedy—perhaps even her own demise?
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.
