Megan Malone is originally from the US but after her years in the military as an Army combat medic she decided she would move to Dublin. Making her new life in a new country Megan took on a job at the Leprechaun Limo Service where she drove o ...more

The first in a new series that will be going on my list to follow. This was a thoroughly engaging mystery novel taking place in Dublin. The characters in the book are well crafted with lots of quirks and personalities that help create three dimensional people. Megan Malone is an American who moved to Ireland after retiring as an Army Medic. Now she drives a limo in Dublin which positions her perfectly to meet new people and become intrigued in their situations.

It's about as far from her former military skills as she can get...but she loves it. Most days it's pretty routine....driving people here and there, giving a bit of touristy color and history to her clients. Until the day one of her passengers drops dead. A well-known restaurant and food critic, Elizabeth Darr, dies....after eating at a local re

Megan Malone former US Army combat medic, is now a limo driver in Dublin for Lucky Leprechaun Limousines. One of her customers, Liz, dies suddenly after dining at her friend Fionn's restaurant, but the autopsy reveals something much worse than a bad meal. Is Liz's husband really as devastated as he seems? And then there's a second murder, and Megan wonders if they are connected. I liked the Dublin setting for this cozy mystery, and Megan is an appealing protagonist. Thanks to the publisher and N

This is such a fun, charming, cozy and immersive mystery set in Dublin, with a heroine I loved (a 40-year-old American immigrant, ex-military, infinitely generous, practical, and a hopeless sucker for any human or animal in need), an expansive friends-group for the heroine that I ADORED, and a setting so vividly described and so enticing that I wished I could hop on a plane and visit straightaway! The author is an American immigrant to Ireland herself, so unsurprisingly, not only did the (realis

Good first book in a new series. I liked the main character. I loved the Dublin setting. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
Dead in Dublin by Catie Murphy was an excellent beginning to a new cozy mystery series. Ms. Murphy is a "new to me" author who did not disappoint.
Megan Malone is an American expat living in Dublin and driving limos and town cars for Leprechaun Limo Service. She loves her job and has made several friends in Dublin since moving here. She's older than most of the current cozy mystery sleuths so I enjoyed "meeting" her. The story is well crafted with a quickly paced plot, twists, turns, red herring ...more

Dead in Dublin by Catie Murphy is a refreshing addition to the cozy mystery field and I enjoyed it very much overall. Several things set it apart from other cozy mysteries … The setting, for one.

A well-written and plotted mystery set in Dublin, Ireland with a Texan limo driver made for a really interesting and intriguing read. I fell in love with the little Jack Russell who had two puppies. Meg was babysitting them, and as she kept telling them that she wasn't keeping them but was growing closer and closer to the little dog family, I was hoping she'd weaken. I sure didn't like her boss much. That lady needs an attitude adjustment lol. Meg's friends were fun, but she was more of a loner

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book!
This was a fantastic start to a cozy series with a whole lot of promise, It has a unique setting, character and situation, and thus made it all the more enjoyable. Megan was a really good sleuth, and had some great leads and sources to untilize. Ultimately we're led in such an unexpected direction for the murderer that I was both shocked and impressed.

This is the first book in the Dublin Driver mystery series by Catie Murphy.
There was quite a lot of build-up in this story. I had a hard time grasping the entire scenario. It wasn’t until the halfway point I had my feet under me and was understanding the concept of this book. I am not certain what had me stymied.
I didn’t get the lush sense of Dublin like I thought I would and I understand that you can’t do that constantly. I probably missed all the Ireland-esque build-up when I was so b ...more

Well, I found a new cozy mystery series to love. Dead in Dublin may be a debut mystery, but Catie Murphy has written science fiction/fantasy as C.E. Murphy, so it's quite polished. It doesn't hurt that it's set in Dublin with actual buildings and monuments. Murphy's debut did send me down a rabbit hole as I looked at pictures of Dublin and listened to several versions of "Molly Malone".

So much to love about this new series (and new-to-me author.) Love the Dublin setting, the unusual occupation for a cozy mystery heroine, Megan's larger than life friends and the subtle hints at something developing between Meg and a certain garda detective. And there's puppies!!!!

Dead in Dublin by Catie Murphy is the 1st book in the Dublin Driver Mystery series, and my first book by this author. Megan Malone recently retired from the military, and moved to Dublin. She has a duel citizenship with US and Ireland. Megan is working for Leprechaun Limo driving tourist around, and enjoys it. When one of Megan's regular customers, a restaurant critic, dies suddenly on the sidewalk after eating at her friends restaurant, Megan is determined to find the truth. I really wanted to

2020 bk 37. A new author for me and a new mystery series. Set in Dublin, ex-pat Megan Malone is a hired driver for tourists, her latest charges being food critic sensation, Elizabeth Darr and her husband. When Elizabeth dies, Megan promises to help her husband and later his in-laws, despite orders to the contrary from her boss. A lovely mystery with the clues bunched up more at the end rather than spread out. The early part, however, does a terrific job at introducing the characters who will be

This was exactly what I needed right now. I picked this up on a friend's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did because it was engaging, a bit funny, and an extra pleasant cozy mystery escape. I loved the main character and her friends, and while I made a few correct guesses about the mystery along the way it didn't detract from my enjoyment at all. The audio was really enjoyable too, so I'm eagerly waiting for the next book from the library.

This is the first in a series of cozy mysteries, I hope, with interesting characters and a solid plot line. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next book in this series.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I really like the main character and all of her friends. I also really enjoy the Irish setting and am looking forward to reading more books in this series.
Received this book from the cozy escape book club. I really liked the story but have a lot of questions about Megan. I’m hoping that they will be answered in the next book. Enjoyed reading a little bit about Dublin
Megan is an Irish girl who grew up in Texas... She's taking Dublin by storm. Kicking ass and taking names. Her crew of friends is interesting and from across the spectrum of the local society. I think this series is going to be around for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

Hmmm, a limo driver feels compelled to investigate a murder. I always like to see how authors make the argument. I have difficulty with that in stories I write as does this author. The book has multiple characters which do not remain firmly fixed in your head. Her friends are so broad in socioeconomic status as to seem improbable. And each friend just happens to have the connection she needs...and we don’t even half to go 7 degrees. Murphy does give some description of Dublin which I appreciate.

A busy few days occur for the Leprechaun Limo Service in Dublin. (Extra star for the setting.) A client dies of apparent food poisoning at a city centre restaurant. The driver, an American lady retired from a more exciting life, knows the venue owner and tries to find out what happened for everyone's sake.
The deceased was a food blogger and vlogger from the United States - the author, an American herself, is clearly trying to catch two markets, but tourism is a large component of Ireland's inco ...more
