Yule Pay Dearly
(2026)(The third book in the Irish Tearoom Mysteries series)
A novel by Elizabeth Penney
Penny Cavanagh’s first Christmas in Ireland goes from festive to fatal when a famous actor is killed in front of The Merry Teapot.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Blarney Green, and recent transplant Penny Cavanagh can’t wait to experience an Irish Christmas alongside her cousin Nora Murphy and their grandmother, Nan. Situated at the heart of the action, the family tearoom offers Penny a front-row seat for all the local festivities, including performances by a visiting troupe of talented mummers—but the holidays go from merry to murderous when one of the actors, a TV star named Nolan Gilmore, is discovered stabbed to death.
From jilted exes to jaded colleagues, the naughty list of potential murderers keeps Penny guessing . . . and the stakes skyrocket when another homicide befalls somebody close to the case and Penny winds up in the villain’s crosshairs. To complicate matters, Penny’s heart tugs her toward something more than friendship with clever, kind Detective Inspector Finn Campbell, but her involvement in the murder investigations may jeopardize her hopes of future romance. Will she manage to help solve the crimes without alienating Finn—and without getting herself killed in the process.
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.
