DESCRIPTION:
Lady Eleanor Swift is having a grand time cosying up with her husband in Dublin’s traditional pubs, eating their fill of Irish stew and soaking up the craic… Until another body ruins all their plans!
Lady Eleanor Swift is visiting Dublin with her husband Hugh Seldon and butler Clifford to meet Samuel O’Sullivan, a man who may be able to tell her more about the mysterious disappearance of her parents two decades ago. Deciding they should explore the city a little more, they jump at the chance to visit the world-renowned Finnegan’s brewery.
But their taste test of the famous black stout turns deadly when Eleanor spots a body in one of the barrels! The dead man is none other than the owner of the brewery, Fergal Finnegan himself. Sensing a scandal, the head of operations hires The Byron Detective Agency to investigate.
It seems there was no pot of gold at the end of Fergal’s rainbow. Did his debt-ridden younger brother kill him for his inheritance? Did the fact Finnegan wouldn’t leave his wife make his mistress murderous? And was there more to fight about with rival brewer George Gaffney than just profits?
When their chief suspect is found dead only days later and the top-secret formula for a new beer goes missing, the agency is almost thrown off the case. But Eleanor doesn’t give up on justice. Will the luck of the Irish be on her side before the killer catches up with her?
A totally unputdownable Irish cozy mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Carlene O’Connor!

Verity Bright’s Lady Eleanor Swift series has always been a delight, and A Very Irish Mystery proves that the charm is still going strong. In this installment, Eleanor and her husband, Hugh Seldon, set off for Dublin, ready to enjoy a change of scenery. But their trip has a deeper purpose. Ever since the mysterious disappearance of her parents left her orphaned, Eleanor has longed for answers. Now, a man named Samuel O’Sullivan claims to have information that could finally shed light on her past.
Traveling with their ever-reliable butler, Clifford, the trio takes in the sights, and this includes a visit to a world-famous brewery. What begins as a pleasant outing quickly turns grim when Eleanor discovers the body of the brewery’s owner, Fergal Finnegan, hidden in one of the barrels. With their experience running the Byron Detective Agency, Eleanor, Hugh, and Clifford are more than willing to assist in uncovering the truth.
Eleanor is no stranger to asking questions, but having an official reason to investigate doesn’t make things any easier. As they dig deeper, a web of family drama begins to unravel. Fergal’s brother is struggling financially, and Fergal himself was involved in an affair. These are easily both strong motives for murder. Could his brother or his wife be responsible? While these possibilities seem promising at first, new revelations soon complicate the case and force Eleanor to reconsider her assumptions.
Bright once again excels in delivering a captivating mystery. The intrigue begins immediately, and the rich historical backdrop adds depth and atmosphere, perfectly complementing the cozy tone of the series. This latest installment not only keeps readers guessing but also continues to develop Eleanor’s personal journey, making it a thoroughly engaging and satisfying read.
