Right off I will say is that I loved this cozy mystery. :) Anything that has to do with Ireland, I have always been fond of and this book is no exception! The story was good, the characters were enjoyable and I would read a book by this author anytime.

Megan is back, still driving a car for Leprechaun Limousine Service. Her latest patron, Cherise, is from Texas and claims to be a lost descendent of an old Irish Earldom. Obviously someone has taken umbrage to that claim as Cherise is later found dead by the daughter Megan picked up from the airport later in the day. When the rest of Cherise's daughters arrive, Megan is tasked with driving them around as well. As they try to figure out if they really are descendents, Megan decides the local Garda, Burke, needs her help in solving Cherise's murder

Lots of twists and turns and surprises in this book. It's fun and fast-paced. I'm really enjoying Megan, her sleuthing, Garda Burke, and all the other characters...even the irascible Olga (owner of Leprechaun Limousine Service). How interesting it must be to drive around folks who are in a place they don't know. Oh my! The conversations you would be privy to...whether you wanted to be or not.
This is not your typical cozy - lots of explicit language - but I'm enjoying each new book as it releases.
Oh!! Loved the nod to Murphy's The Walker Papers series. One of my favorite UF series.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.

i really loved this book! Interesting complex and quirky characters. I was captured on the very first page! An informative witty story with lots of twists and turns, murder and mayhem. A real page turner. A must read. This is the first book I have read by this author and I look forward to reading more written by her! I honestly reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley, All opinions are my own. Thank you.

American Army veteran Megan Malone is a limo driver in Dublin, working for Leprechaun Limousine Service. Her current client, American-born Cherise Williams has requested to be chauffeured to St. Michan’s Church. Cherise believes that she is an heir to an Irish Earl, and is in search of family treasure...until she becomes a corpse.

Death of an Irish Mummy is my second read in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was able to keep up with characters and events, but I would have preferred to have started from the first novel for continuity reasons so I will be catching up with the series début (Dead In Dublin) as soon as I can. The Dublin setting was great and I loved the morsels of information about the area and culture that were scattered about. I enjoyed all of the interactions between the different characters and the humorous banter often had me giggling. Although there were a lot of people to keep track of in the novel I never felt overwhelmed by them all.

Protagonist Megan's job as a limo driver is unique for a cozy mystery and she is gutsy, independent, and witty. The mystery itself was great; it had me nonplussed though I settled on a culprit, but couldn’t pinpoint the motive. The fun-filled and intriguing story held my interest to the end and I didn't want to put down my Kindle. I am eagerly anticipating meeting up with Megan in book 4.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Kensington Books via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

What better way to spend the day? Traveling to Dublin to join Megan Malone, an American living in Dublin is great fun. She works for Leprechaun Limos owned by Olga and is the driver of choice to drive visiting Americans around town. Every once in awhile a corpse is added to her day and Megan adds investigator to her list of talents. This time it's an American heiress whois in search of family title and treasure. What she needs is just a smidge of ancient DNA to help her make her claim. All too soon she herself becomes a corpse and Megan's boss, Olga has attracted the attention of the local Garda.
This series is vivid with the sights and sounds of Ireland and Megan makes the perfect guide. The supporting cast is well developed and each mystery is full of twists, turns and red herrings. It's a satisfying read to the very last page.
My thanks to the publisher Kensington and to NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Death of an Irish Mummy is the third book in the Dublin Driver series by Catie Murphy, and is currently scheduled for release on June 29 2021. While it is very helpful to have read the previous books to understand Megan and her relationships with some of the secondary characters, newcomers will still be able to enjoy the mystery.

American-born Cherise Williams believes herself to be heir to an old Irish earldom, and she's come to Dublin to claim her heritage. Under the circumstances, Megan's boss Olga at Leprechaun Limos has no qualms about overcharging the brash Texas transplant for their services. Megan chauffeurs Cherise to the ancient St. Michan's Church, where the woman intends to get a wee little DNA sample from the mummified earls--much to the horror of the priest. But before she can desecrate the dead, Cherise Williams is murdered--just as her three daughters arrive to also claim their birthright. With rumors of famine-era treasure on the lands owned by the old Williams family and the promise of riches for the heirs, greed seems a likely motive. But when Olga surprisingly becomes the Garda's prime suspect, Megan attempts to steer the investigation away from her boss and solve the murder with the help of the dashing Detective Bourke. With a killer who's not wrapped too tight, she'll need to proceed with caution--or she could go from driving a limo to riding in a hearse.

Death of an Irish Mummy is a book that had high and low points for me. I enjoyed the characters, and the work that goes into making main and secondary characters so layered and complex. Even the less important players in the story had personality and moments that made them real. I thought the plot was well thought out, and the story and locations well researched. I still like Megan- and enjoy having a main character that is not super young and magically rich, but while unreal things keep happening around her still feels grounded and real. I only wish the nudges about romance would stop. It is okay for a woman to have fantastic friends, a career, and be happy without a romantic relationship. I will also say that I was pretty sure who the culprit was as soon as they came into the story, and called some of their actions and motives fairly quickly. However, the ride of Megan and the Williams sisters coming to the same conclusion was an interesting and entertaining ride.

Death of an Irish Mummy is a good continuation of the story, and I look forward to continuing to follow Megan's adventures.

While this book appears to be a cozy mystery, because of the inclusion of foul language it is not. It is an entertaining, clever, and engaging mystery. The local vernacular did kind of slow me down just a tad. I kept wanting to correct the grammar. It does add to the authenticity of the location and eventually seems normal. Interesting relationships among all the characters, not just the mother and daughters. I am enjoying this series.

I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. A great mystery with adorable animals I can't wait to read more.

I love this series! And it just keeps getting better! This one was especially nostalgic for me since I’ve spent time at Lough Rynn! This one had me on the edge of my seat until the end! This is quickly becoming one of my favorite cozy mystery series! I can’t wait for book 4!

3.75 stars

Irish-American limo driver Megan Malone is back in another adventure. The former military medic now drives for the Leprechaun Limo Service in Dublin where she has established a nice life with pets, friends, and an uncomfortable habit of stumbling over dead bodies.

She is escorting an American woman who hopes to establish a claim to her Irish grandfather's estate. But when the overbearing Texan woman is found dead, Megan is right there. And she ends up involved because of a possible murky connection with her limo service boss. Not to mention that she is expected to chauffeur the victim's three very different daughters around as they try to untangle the mess.

This is a quick and entertaining read, and has a lot of humor as the trio of sisters snipe, comfort, and flounce at each other. Megan is a likable, if nosy, character who is usually the most competent person in the room. Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is part of a series. I have not read any of the previous books. I think that this reads well as a stand alone. Megan works for a car service in Dublin but she is from Austin. This is an interesting mystery. But I never really liked the characters-I didn't connect with Megan and the daughters of the deceased were always squabbling. That was annoying. 3 stars This was just ok for me. I think others may enjoy more. I did like the location.

A great read. I loved the book. The plot was very well written and I cannot wait for another book. This was from a new to me and great author. I really enjoyed the book. Will definitely recommend this book.

This book was hard to get into. I read Dead in Dublin and did not like the main character, Megan and still don't in the 3rd of the series. I found that the book dragged on in the first half of the story but did pick up towards the end, Even though I did not like this book I did read to end to see who the murderer was and if they found the treasure.

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Publishing Corp. for this ARC..

I adore the Dublin setting of this series. Megan is a great protagonist, and the author fleshed out the characters well. The mystery was fun, and I enjoyed my time reading this book.

This is one of my new fav series! Megan is the person we'd love to be- an American transplant in Ireland, getting to know all the local scenes, and making a great group of friends. yes, she may have the proverbial boss from hell, but in this book, they come to terms. It's an interesting book with a murder that revolves around a supposed genealogy that isn't proven. What secrets are being kept, and who wants to see them kept? It's a fun romp and an uber quick read, as you wn't want to put it down until it ends!

With terrific descriptions of the Irish countryside, well developed characters who are so completely described they spring into your mind in full color, and a delightful murder all add up to Catie Murphy's latest in the Dublin Driver Mysteries. It's easy to read,and a great book to offer entertainment to those who are looking for some relaxation.
The characters range from an "ugly American" who just wants one little bone from a dead earl or his descendant and doesn't understand why the church can't dig up a body to help her out. After all, who's going to miss a finger at this point? When she is murdered, her three daughters come together to try and figure out what happened as well as what to do with her body. They range from the very put-together older daughter who is all polished and perfect, the middle daughter who wants them all to "just get along" please, and the youngest, the free spirit of the group.
Things really get going when the sisters have Megan, the series' protagonist and driver for Leprechaun Limousines drive them to the estate of an earl they believe to be a long lost ancestor. Things get even more interesting when the current owner sees a physical resemblance to the youngest daughter and her now-dead sister and she decides to deed the entire property to them.
All this is set against a backdrop of beautiful Ireland and includes to young men vying for the youngest sister's attention; one she met online doing genealogical research and the other the boyfriend from back home who seems to come and go somewhat as he pleases. Combine these relationships with the tension between Megan and her unreasonable boss, Orla, and you have plenty of personalities on display to enjoy.
The questions come in as to why the girl's mother was murdered as well as who did it? Tensions abound as Megan'calls her garda friend Paul and he urges her to stay away from the investigation as his boss is growing weary of Megan being such a frequent bystander in Dublin murders. For her part, even when she tries to avoid the investigation Megan is pulled into it because the sisters have come to rely on her to drive them wherever they must go.
While it was fairly easy to guess the identity of the murderer, that didn't make enjoyment of the book any less. It was engaging to watch for clues to verify the guess and at the same time enjoy the relationships and personalities unfold throughout the book. Great fun to read and pure enjoyment.

This is the last I will read of this series. My problem is the unlikableness of the main character. Nothing she says or does wants me to stay in her world, it's just too depressing. While the mystery in 'Death of an Irish Mummy' is mildly interesting with a resolution I could almost like, it still wasn't enough to create fandom for me.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Megan Malone moved to Ireland from Texas. She now drives a limo for Leprechaun Line Service. Death of an Irish Mummy by Catie Murphy is the third book in the author's Dublin Driver Mysteries series. This time Megan needs to prove the innocence of her boss. It's an interesting story, well-written, but the author's voice just didn't resonate with me.

I received an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

What a delight! I already loved Megan Malone from the earlier books in this series, and she's in top form here. She's smart and sassy and strong--and she's also kind and sympathetic. In this outing, Megan ends up embroiled with an American family whose overbearing matriarch is murdered and whose three daughters Megan is driving for. Murphy's strong and three-dimensional characterizations let us see that the three daughters (and the mom herself) aren't quite as easily summed up as they seemed to be at first. Add in adorable puppies, good friends, drama with Olga (but I'm glad that doesn't play a big part in the story, honestly), and you're good to go. In a beautiful Irish setting complete with standing stones, castle ruins, and treasure hunters, you're sure to lose yourself for a few hours.

In book three of this series, Megan, the book’s protagonist and American limo driver, is driving Cherise Williams, who is convinced she’s inherited and Earldom. However, before Cherise can prove anything, she’s murdered and Megan finds the body.

The first two books were a little hit or miss for me, there’s been some good mysteries but I haven’t loved the overall writing. It’s a bit of the same with this book. However, what drew me to this book was the perspective of an American living in Ireland, since I’ve been in that situation before (obviously not as a limo driver!) and I enjoy any mention of a landmark that I’m familiar with.

If this series continues, I’ll certainly be reading any future books.
