About Dial P For Poison
Product Description “My career in the San Francisco PD ended the day I arrested my husband.” Maggie Doyle gives her cheating ex and crumbling career in the San Francisco PD the proverbial middle finger, and moves to the Wild West…of Ireland. Lured by her aunt’s promise of a restful Irish vacation, Maggie agrees to help out at the Movie Theater Café in exchange for bed and board. Things are looking up—until the most hated woman on Whisper Island is poisoned at the café. With her aunt as the prime suspect, Maggie and her rock-hard muffins are hurled into the murder investigation. With the help of her UFO-enthusiast friend, a nun, and a feral puppy, Maggie is determined to clear her aunt’s name. Can she catch the murderer before they strike again? Or will her terrible baking skills burn down the cafe first? Grab a copy and find out today! ***Includes a recipe for the fatal cocktail—minus the deadly ingredient!*** For more murder and mayhem with Maggie and her friends be sure to check out the other Movie Club Mystery books! Review This is a great first entry for this series. This is a new to me author, but I'll definitely want to continue reading about the Movie Club. Book Babble I was captivated from page 1 until the end! I am choppin' at the bit to open up book 2 ... The Journey Back I enjoy a good mystery and this one is set on a small island in Ireland and is a place I wouldn't mind visiting especially because the cafe is a refurbished theater - the kind you see in movies from the 50's or you might see in a small town. It is a creative way to refurbish an abandoned movie theater! Storeybook Reviews The plot is interesting, and the story unfolds at a steady pace with a touch of humor and romantic suspense thrown in for good measure. All in all, a well-written and enjoyable cozy mystery. Cassidy's Bookshelves Dial P for Poison was a charming mystery with a lovable heroine, a perfect mystery setting and recipes to die for Moonlight Rendezvous From the Author I love reading cozy mysteries where the protagonist has an unusual hobby or profession. When I was planning my cozy mystery series, I wanted the main character to share my interest in old movies. I'm from Dublin, but I spent my summers with my grandparents in a small town in the southwest of Ireland. In their town, there was an abandoned movie theater, and my cousin and I used to sneak inside. I loved the idea of putting that movie theater on my fictional island and having a character renovate it into a café with a movie club attached. All the titles in the Movie Club Mysteries riff off classic movies. Dial P For Poison was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder. The second book in the series is called The Postman Always Dies Twice, and it got its name from The Postman Always Rings Twice. If you enjoyed Dial P For Poison, you won't need to wait long for more murder and mayhem with Maggie and her friends. Books 2-6 are already out!
