Woes of Christmas Past
(2026)(Book 13 in the Irish Tearoom Mysteries series)
A novel by Elizabeth Penney
This Christmas, Penny Cavanagh finds herself wrapped up in a murder mystery centered around a local artisanal distillery.
Newly engaged to Detective Inspector Finn Campbell, Penny Cavanagh feels especially merry this Christmas and she turns her own happiness into goodwill for Blarney Green. A surprise visit from Garrett Glass, an ex-con seeking to prove himself innocent of a twenty-year-old homicide, takes some of the shine off of Penny and Finn’s pre-wedding excitement—especially when Finn discovers that his own late father also believed Garrett was falsely convicted. Unfortunately, the old murder is eclipsed by a new one when Penny discovers distillery owner Mack McGlynn dead in his home office . . . and all signs point to Garrett striking again.
Although she’d rather be wrapped up in wedding planning and Christmas festivities, Penny can’t shake the feeling that Garrett is innocent of this murder too. With Finn’s blessing, she helps track down means, motive, and opportunity for a naughty list of top suspects—but will she uncover the true killer before she lands in their crosshairs? If not, this just might be her last noel.
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.
