Tempers in a Teapot
(2026)(The eighth book in the Irish Tearoom Mysteries series)
A novel by Jan Fields
There’s drama on stage and off when a Blarney Green theater production when the play’s star falls to her death and Penny Cavanagh suspects foul play.
All the world’s a stage, and the people of Blarney Green, Ireland, are the players---at least when it comes to the local thespians putting on a musical in the Saints and Scholars Theater. Penny Cavanagh is drawn into the drama when her friend Octavia asks her to counsel fellow actress Delia Gittan on her complicated romantic life, but the scene turns tragic when Delia dies and Penny suspects foul play.
Suspicious events at the theater raise the stakes further, and Penny finds herself cast in the role of Octavia’s protector, a position that gives her a front-row seat to the trouble brewing behind the scenes at Saints and Scholars. From jealous castmates to the actress’s jilted beaus to a director with something to hide, Penny’s list of suspects grows with every rehearsal. If she’s not careful in her mission to unmask a murderer, she might just break more than a leg before the final curtain falls.
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.
