This is a fun collection of 3 cozy mysteries that are centered around Irish Milkshakes. These short stories range from 3 to 4 stars for me, giving an overall 4 stars for the collection.

Irish Milkshake Murder by Carlene O’Connor. -3 stars

Prior to Tara and Danny’s wedding go on a trip with their wedding party. The trip to the Aran Island kicks off on a ferry trip to Inis Moir, the party are enjoying some boozy Irish Milkshakes. In addition to the wedding part there were 2 entertainers aboard as well. When one of the milkshakes turns deadly the survivors must discover who among them was a killer.

This story was a little on the slower pace. I didn’t truly connect with these characters but they were realistic though some weren’t that likable. Even though this is a short story there are some well laced red herrings.

Murder Most Irish by Peggy Ehrhart- 3.5 stars (4 Stars)

With St. Patrick’s Day approaching Hyler’s Luncheonette is embracing the celebration with a green minty milkshake. When one of the milkshakes apparently kills one of the diners, Pamela and Bettina, set out to find the murder since they were possible witnesses.

The characters are relatable and realistic. The mystery moves at a slower pace but moved smoothly. There is some fun twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Mrs. Claus and Luckless Leprechaun by Liz Ireland -
4 stars

Spring has arrived in Santaland with iceball season. Claire adds a minty milkshake to her menu of her ice cream shop just in time for the St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations. When one of the elves that was helping Claire by dressing as a leprechaun during the sporting events and celebrations is attached April Clause has to find out who is behind this.

This was my favorite of the three stories. The characters are fun and quirky. The story moves at a quick pace and is easy to follow. There are plenty of surprises to keep the story mysterious.

All thoughts and opinions are my own, I have not been influenced by anyone.

<b>Description:</b>
<b>IRISH MILKSHAKE MURDER</b> by CARLENE O’CONNOR
In advance of their St. Patrick’s Day wedding, Tara Meehan and Danny O’Donnell are off to the Aran Islands with their bridesmaids and groomsmen for a joint hen and stag party. The weekend kicks off with the ferry trip to Inis Mór, as the passengers enjoy boozy milkshakes on board and entertainment from a pair of famous Irish-dancing twin brothers. But faster than Tara can say “Oh, Danny Boy,” a murder shamrocks the boat as someone’s spiked shake turns out to be their final round. Stuck in a rural island cottage, while a storm rages outside, Tara must find the Celtic killer before her luck runs out.

<b>MURDER MOST IRISH</b> by PEGGY EHRHART
St. Patrick’s Day is drawing near in Arborville, New Jersey and the folks at Hyler's Luncheonette are getting into the holiday spirit with a new, limited-time, Irish-themed menu item--a festive green milkshake appropriately named, “The Leprechaun.” It’s a hit, until a patron is felled by one of the frothy concoctions during a sheep parade through the town. Now, it’s up to Pamela Paterson and her Knit & Nibble knitting club pal, Bettina Fraser, to catch a murderer and put a stop to the sheer madness.

<b>MRS. CLAUS AND THE LUCKLESS LEPRECHAUN</b> by LIZ IRELAND
Spring in Santaland means two things: the elves have more leisure time and iceball season is in full swing! To celebrate, April Claus’s friend, Claire, whips up some minty milkshakes for her bustling ice cream shop, Santaland Scoop. But when the St. Paddy’s promotion makes one elf the target of a decidedly unlucky strike, Mrs. Claus and her friends must figure out if the attack was a failed hit job, a crime of passion, or an extremely unfortunate accident.

I love books like these with short novella’s, especially with authors I’ve never read before. It gives me a chance to sample their writing without having to commit to a full length book. All three stories were well written and were perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. I enjoyed the first story the most and will definitely check out more of her books.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the opportunity to read this for an honest review.

I enjoy these holiday anthologies that Kensington puts out during the year, but this one missed the mark for me. I think this one missed as two of the three stories were from series I don't read for different reasons. Each one had an Irish Milkshake as part of the story. It might have been the murder weapon, something the characters like to drink or an offering at the local restaurant, but it is there. I enjoyed the first story: IRISH MILKSHAKE MURDER by CARLENE O’CONNOR. Tara Meehan and Danny O’Donnell are off to the Aran Islands with their bridesmaids and groomsmen for a joint hen and stag party. On the ferry to Inis Mór, the passengers enjoy boozy milkshakes and entertainment from a pair of famous Irish-dancing twin brothers. Unfortunately, one of the brothers dies while drinking his shake. This is a bit of a closed door mystery as it had to be someone on the boat. When the captain disappears, he is the main suspect. The investigation continues while on the island, with a storm raging and no one able to leave. It was a fun story with a great investigation and a surprising culprit. The second story: MURDER MOST IRISH by PEGGY EHRHART involves the death of a man after drinking "The Leprechaun Shake". Pamela Paterson and her Knit & Nibble knitting club pal, Bettina Fraser are on the case trying to determine who and why the murder occurred. This series is one I stopped reading due to the amount of detail given about food and knitting projects. The mystery was well written and I enjoyed seeing how Pamela and Bettina sorted it out, but it was just okay. One thing I did like was the recipe for the Irish Coffee Mallow Dessert. The final story, MRS. CLAUS AND THE LUCKLESS LEPRECHAUN by LIZ IRELAND, was the one I liked the least, not because of the writing, but the setting of the North Pole and the characters, Mrs. Claus, elves and reindeer, just didn't call to me. The mystery involved an elf being injured thus endangering his team's entrance into a sporting event, the iceball tournament. There are reindeer with confidence issues that help to save the day, minty milkshakes being sold in the local ice-cream shop and jealousy. The solving of the mystery was well done, but I didn't really care by that point. Again, not the fault of the writing, just me. I'm sure those that enjoy this series will enjoy this one. Overall, just an okay read for me.

Kensington Books’ latest trio of cozy seasonal novellas is a real winner, especially with an absolute stunner of a dessert recipe included to help properly celebrate St Patrick’s Day!

In the opening story that gives this collection its name, Carlene O’Connor sends the heroine of her Home To Ireland series on a hen party to the Aran Islands. Tara Meehan doesn’t really want to make a big deal out of the Irish version of a bachelorette party but she also doesn’t want to disappoint her good friend Breanna Cunningham, who is all in on a wild celebration in advance of Tara’s St Patrick’s Day nuptials. Not too wild, Tara hopes, as her fiance Danny O’Donnell has been persuaded to merge his stag do with hers. But when the party expands to include a pair of handsome Irish-dancing twin brothers, discord unexpectedly rears its ugly head. Someone dies after ingesting a boozy milkshake on the ferry ride to Inishmore, and Tara will have to brave a raging storm in order to figure out whodunnit before a murderer gets away scot free.

Peggy Ehrhart pens the middle novella, Murder Most Irish. Associate editor and amateur sleuth Pamela Paterson has long enjoyed dining at Hyler’s Luncheonette, and is intrigued by the new chef’s addition of minty Irish milkshakes to the menu in celebration of St Patrick’s Day. When a fellow guest dies while drinking one, Pamela is certain that someone deliberately slipped something into the shake to murder him. The rest of Arborville isn’t so sure, and begins to avoid the long-standing institution out of fear of being accidentally poisoned themselves. Will Pamela be able to identify the calculating killer before Hyler’s is forced to shut its doors for good?

The final story is Liz Ireland’s Mrs Claus And The Luckless Leprechaun. Since April Claus married Nick and moved to Santaland, the inhabitants have been more than happy to throw themselves into the many American holidays she’s introduced to what used to be a fairly one-holiday town. St Patrick’s Day is one they’re all fervently embracing, especially as it coincides with an important iceball game between longtime rivals Christmastown and Tinkertown. When a star player is viciously attacked, it’s up to April to solve the crime and help keep the peace in her husband’s realm.

I loved how April dealt with change in that final story, especially when it came to her new reindeer Wobbler. The comic relief and cinematic hijinks felt like a perfect matching bookend for the first novella, which had a similarly light-hearted attitude that contrasted well with the gravity of the violence involved. Murder Most Irish, like its heroine, was a little more staid, but did bring us this absolute wonder of an Irish-inspired dessert:

QUOTE
Irish Coffee Mallow

1 cup strong coffee
20 regular-sized marshmallows
¼ cup Irish (or other) whiskey
1 cup heavy cream

Heat the coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Without removing the saucepan from the heat, add the marshmallows a few at a time and stir. It might seem that they are going to bob about, remaining whole forever, but they eventually melt completely into the coffee. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the contents cool slightly. Add the Irish whiskey. (If you want to make sure the alcohol in the whiskey evaporates, add it as soon as you remove the saucepan from the heat.) Let the mixture cool to the point that you can touch the outside of the saucepan comfortably.

In a medium bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Add the coffee mixture to the bowl, stirring until it’s completely blended in. A wire whisk makes this process simple.

Ladle the mixture into six small dessert dishes–old-fashioned stemmed dessert cups made from clear glass are ideal–and chill for six to eight hours.
END QUOTE

The novella describes this as Irish coffee in mousse form, but I’m not sure if that correctly captures just how delicious this dish is! The mallow has a consistency that’s half-mousse, half ice cream and one hundred percent amazing. I’m partial to a good Irish coffee, and while I can either take or leave a mousse or an ice cream on its own, this genuinely has the best qualities of both desserts. I highly recommend making it for anyone else who enjoys Irish coffee, too. My only caveat is that the directive to wait till you can touch the outside of the saucepan comfortably may be more useful to some than others. I definitely waited a little longer than that, as my hands quite enjoy holding hot things.

Next week, we travel to the Midwest to continue the seasonal theme by baking up a staple while investigating a suspicious murder right out of a folktale. Do join me!

Three delightful stories to get you in the mood for St. Patrick’s Day. I only wish they had been longer.
Many thanks to Kensington and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you publisher and NetGalley for this book. I was not disappointed by these favorite authors. These three short stories were fun to read. They all take place around St. Patrick’s Day.

This is a fun trio of cozy mystery novellas! Technically, they are the Knit & Nibble series 9.5, Home to Ireland 2.5, and Mrs. Claus 4.5. This series is all set around St. Patrick’s day, which is a favorite of mine, but doesn’t get a lot of attention generally in stories. All three of these stories may enhance their respective series, but I had no problems reading the stories as standalone novellas.

I have read and enjoyed other Knit and Nibble mysteries, and this novella was not any different. I liked the fun storyline and the characters. I figured it out before the end, but that doesn’t bother me.

This was my first reading of the other two series. They were both enjoyable and had quirky characters that I would not mind reading again in future books. Overall, I enjoyed these novellas to get into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit and would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants an introduction to cozy mysteries or enjoys the holiday themed stories.

This is a 3-in-1 book. Three short cozies by different authors. Irish Milkshake Murder by Carlene O'Connor revolves around a Hen Party gone wrong. Tara and her boyfriend Danny are getting married. Her best friend insists on a Hen Party and invites the boys. On the ferry over to an Aran Island, one of the ferry travelers is murdered. Everyone is under suspicion, and they all have to stay together in the same cabin during a pouring storm. I like Carlene O'Connor and her series that takes place in Ireland. These are different characters. The writing style is easy to read and lots of dodgy stuff to sift though.

Next the Murder Most Irish by Peggy Ehrhart. These character, Pamela Patterson and her friend Bettina Fraser are part of her series. In this story, the women are have lunch celebrating St. Paddy's Day when another diner keels over dead. No one saw what happened, but it has Pamela and Bettina curious. Fun cozy, east to read and enjoyable characters.

Last is Mrs. Claus and the Luckless Leprechaun by Liz Ireland. This was cute. It is now March and the community of Santaland are celebrating St. Paddy's day. There is a big Iceball competition. After the game, an former player (on the injured list) is attacked. Who would do this? It's a fun little story with reindeer, elves, and Santa.

I have only read Liz Ireland’s Mrs Santa series, so I don’t feel comfortable commenting on the other stories. However, I enjoyed very much this one! I love the mixing of holidays, I was worried the idea might get stale, and I am so glad it hasn’t!

I'm really growing to love these cozy mystery novella collections that Kensington has been publishing. I read some of the series regularly, and some are new to me, but it's easy to follow along with the stories and characters regardless. This one was no exception. With each story centered around a green, St. Patrick's Day milkshake, there was a fun common thread. The first story is almost a locked-room style mystery, taking place on a ferry; the second was a diner poisoning involving sheep; and the third was another Mrs. Claus solving crime installment. I'm a huge fan of Liz Ireland's Mrs. Claus series, so I knew that story would be a winner, but I also adored the first closed universe short story.

Thanks to Kensington for my ARC and Tantor Audio for my ALC! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

5 stars - 9/10

I'm a sucker for holiday themed cozys and although I haven't read many from these authors I enjoyed these short stories and will seek out more I'm sure from these authors.

Thank you to netgalley for the chance to read and review this book

EXCERPT: (Taken from the title story, Irish Milkshake Murder)
Tara Meehan didn't want to disappoint her dear friend Breanna Cunningham, but if she had any doubts about going wild before her wedding, the plastic penis wand Breanna was waving in her face way too enthusiastically solidified her decision. No hen party for her.

But when the St. Paddy’s promotion makes one elf the target of a decidedly unlucky strike, Mrs. Claus and her friends must figure out if the attack was a failed hit job, a crime of passion, or an extremely unfortunate accident . . .

MY THOUGHTS: I enjoyed the first two of these St Patrick's Day themed novellas more than the third which was just a little too much on the silly side for me. Of them all, I liked Murder Most Irish the most. I hadn't read any of the Knit and Nibble series or indeed anything by Peggy Ehrhart previously but will now be watching for more by this author. ⭐⭐⭐.7

Carlene O'Connor has long been an author I read regularly, and I enjoyed Irish Milkshake Murder, although I thought it was pretty obvious who the murderer was. Also the relationship between Tara and Danny seemed decidedly odd - they didn't feel like a couple about to be married. ⭐⭐⭐.3

Mrs Claus and the Luckless Leprechaun just wasn't my cup of tea - t00 cheesy. I couldn't wait for it to be over. ⭐⭐

This novella collection is recommended for anyone who enjoys the more 'themed' cosy-mysteries.

Narrator Callie Beaulieu did a mostly admirable job of narrating these novellas.

Overall rating ⭐⭐⭐

DISCLOSURE: Thank you to Kensington Books (Kensington Cozies) and Tantor Audio via NetGalley for providing a both a digital and audio ARC of Irish Milkshake Murder by Carlene O'Connor, Peggy Ehrhart and Liz Ireland for review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own personal opinions.

IRISH MILK SHAKE MURDER by Carlene O’Connor, Peggy Ehrhart, and Liz Ireland is a rollicking collection of three cozy mystery novellas that capture the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. I can’t think of a better way to start the festivities than making an Irish milkshake (heavy on the Irish whiskey of course) and catching up with favorite characters or finding a new series to start if you’re not familiar with them. I’m always impressed that each author manages to fit in a full mystery, with enough intrigue, in such short stories!

The first story, Irish Milkshake Murder by Carlene O’Connor, finds protagonist Tara Meehan, taking a ferry trip to the Aran Islands with her fiancé and friends for a hen and bachelor party she was dead set against having. The mystery is like a “closed room” puzzle to solve, after one of the three passengers unknown to Tara dies after drinking a milkshake on board the ferry. Stranded on the island because of a massive storm, finding the killer becomes necessary before they can strike again. I love closed room mysteries, and Ms. O’Connor is an expert at writing those. There were plenty of twists and turns amongst the well-written atmospheric backdrop that kept me on my toes.

The second novella, Murder Most Irish by Peggy Ehrhart, is homey with a small-town vibe. Protagonist Pamela Paterson and her BFF, Bettina, witness the murder of a patron at their favorite diner after he drank a green Irish milkshake. I like that the two women are of a “certain” age and that they use that to their advantage to get gossip and dig up dirt on who might have wanted the man dead. This is a slower-paced read but still enjoyable, following along with Pamela and Bettina, and visiting with their Knit & Nibble’s knitting club. These are characters you’d like spending time with and calling friends. The author also includes a recipe.

The third book, Mrs. Claus and the Luckless Leprechaun by Liz Ireland, is my favorite by far. Her imaginative North Pole setting and humorous dialog, characters, and situations had me devouring the story. Ms. Ireland knows how to capture the spirit and the festivities of the holiday and this newest story has it in spades…err shamrocks. The introduction of Mrs. Claus’ new reindeer, Wobbler, had me in stitches, and I was delighted as his role in the story unfolded. The mystery and reveal were creative and kept me turning pages. Honestly, I’d love to see a Mrs. Claus set of novellas covering every single holiday of the year!

I absolutely love these collections of short stories that are from a variety of different authors. I love how they pick an item or theme and weave it into their individual story lines while giving you a preview of what their series is like it is new to you or giving you a "snack" to tide you over until they release the next full book in the series to sate your appetite! In this case, I was thrilled to get a snack from Carlene O'Connor's Home to Ireland series. I absolutely adore the main character, Tara, and her sidekicks. In this case, quite a time hop has taken place and I'm thrilled to see how things have progressed in her personal life and that she once again finds herself having to solve a murder. The second story if from Peggy Ehrhart's Knit & Nibble series which is completely new to me and I must say that I am absolutely intrigued by the series. I have already looked up the series and printed off the list of titles there and am quite excited to find 10 books waiting for me to read as well as a handful of shorts like this one! The main characters are more in my age bracket, so I am quite excited to see what the ladies get up to in the future. If this book is any indication, then the characters are intelligent and the murders are intricately woven to be entertaining to the max! The third book is from Liz Ireland's Mrs. Claus series which is absolutely a ball of fun! Mrs. Claus lives in Santaland, where else right!?!, and it seems the elf in charge of solving crime is more interested in elf games and cake than actually solving crime, so Mrs. Claus is on the case! It was a hoot of fun to see our favorite Christmas characters in a story that isn't about Christmas and solving crime too boot! If you are looking for a bit of fun and entertainment, then I highly recommend this collection of stories as it will entertain while introducing you to new characters.

This is a trio of St Patrick Day’s mysteries. You’ll enjoy them right now or if you save them for March.

Irish Milkshake Murder – Tara is soon to be married on St Patrick’s Day; however, her friend Breanna is determined to host a hen party (bachelorette). So Tara, Breanna, an old frenemy from New York, and Danny and his friends sit off for an island getaway. A storm is on it’s way and makes the ferry crossing dangerous. But not so dangerous that a passenger should be found dead. Tara needs to clear her friends names and find the murderer in the madcap mystery that will swear you off from hen parties forever. Loved it.

Murder Most Irish – This mystery is set in New Jersey with a group of knitting friends. Pamela and Bettina are just enjoying lunch at Hyler’s when they watch a patron die drinking an Irish mint green milkshake. The duo must clear the diner and discover the murderer. This was a good mystery.

Mrs. Claus And The Luckless Leprechaun – Mrs. Claus, a former Oregonian, is off to find the elf that injured an ice ball star. Out on a career ending injury, Crumble is attacked trying his luck on the ice after a game. His team recruited 2 wild elves from the north to replace him. And the Golden Bootie trophy is missing. This is a fun, light mystery.

Peggy Ehrhart’s Murder Most Irish is a short, seasonal (St. Patrick’s Day) cozy mystery. It is part of a collection of three short stories by three authors. I am a huge fan of Peggy Ehrhart’s Knit & Nibble mystery series, which this story fits in as # 9.5. The main character, Pamela, and her fellow knit club member (and best friend and neighbor), Bettina, carefully follow clues to find out who murdered a man while he was eating in a diner (Pamela and Bettina were there at the time). It’s amazing how the author can fit in a murder mystery in so few chapters, but Ms. Ehrhart does this exceptionally well. I absolutely love the author’s writing style; I don’t know how to describe her writing other than it’s beautiful. This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series, the books are always interesting (putting the clues together) and relaxing (I always feel good while I’m reading it and after I’ve finished). As for the other two stories in this holiday themed collection, I haven’t read them yet as I’m not familiar with those series. As soon as I read them, I’ll update this review. Carlene O'Connor's Irish Milkshake Murder and Liz Ireland's Mrs. Claus and the Luckless Leprechaun.

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Books - Kensington Cozies for this wonderful ARC. I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion. I’ve posted this review to my blog, Goodreads, & Bookbub accounts. I will post it on my Amazon account as soon as Amazon allows (typically it’s the publication date, 12-26-23).

This is an enjoyable collection of stories. This book introduced me to two new series and one was a nice way to hold me over until the next book in the series comes out. These three stories have a St. Patrick’s Day theme. All three stories were entertaining and I plan to catch up the two series that are new to me.

Irish Milkshake Murder by Carlene O’Connor is from the A Home to Ireland Mystery series which is an author I am familiar with but it is a new series to me.

Murder Most Irish by Peggy Ehrhart is from the A Knit & Nibble Mystery series. It is both a new author and series to me.

Mrs. Claus and the Luckless Leprechaun by Liz Ireland is from the A Mrs. Claus Mystery series. This was my favorite because I’ve been reading this from the start.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book of 3 novellas by favorite authors I follow.
All three stories are unique and intriguing, and the characters are familiar and likeable.
I have read previous books by all three authors, and I was delighted to continue reading stories about each.
Most outstanding to me is Liz Ireland's Mrs. Claus mysteries. Imagine being transported to Santaland, where magic happens (and murder)!!!

I highly recommend this light and cozy book, which will keep you entertained and surprise you at the end of each novella.

Thank you, Net Galley, and Kensington Cozies for allowing me to read this book and post a personal review.

This was a cool trio of St. Patrick’s Day themed mysteries from three fun series. I liked how the Irish milkshake theme was incorporated into each one, but a little different in each one. In the Christmastown offering that was third, Wobbler the reindeer was cracking me up! But he turned out not to be as big of a coward as he claimed. Now we know how elves and Santa’s people spend St. Paddy’s day! Along with two other fave cozy series.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of his book, and my opinions are my own.

This is a wonderful collection of St. Patrick’s Day themed cozy mysteries. If you are new to any of the featured authors, this book is a fun way to sample their work for future reads. I found two new authors to check out!
