A local author dies on stage at a literary festival. Ben O'Keeffe has to sort through his complicated estate—and find his murderer while she's at it.
Solicitor Benedicta "Ben" O'Keeffe and her boyfriend Police Sergeant Tom Molloy race to Dublin after hearing that some strangers had moved in with Ben's parents. When they arrive, only Ben's parents and their strange lodger remain, but come morning the lodger has left. Not wanting to leave them alone, Ben persuades her parents to come and stay with her in Inishowen.
In Glendara, preparations are underway for Glenfest, Glendara's literary festival. Phyllis Kettle, the local bookshop owner, is especially pleased to have persuaded Gavin Featherstone, the local best-selling recluse writer, to take part.
The festival begins, and an eager crowd awaits Featherstone's appearance on stage. He is unexpectedly engaging, but when he stands to read from his new book, he stumbles and keels over on the platform.
Ben discovers that she holds Featherstone's will at the office, drafted by her predecessor. Soon, she's drawn into a complicated legal wrangle over the man's estate involving his family and the assistant who lived with him.
But nothing can yet be resolved, as a killer cannot inherit from their victim—and Gavin Featherstone's death was a murder.
Perfect for fans of Louise Penny, Lisa Gardner—and, of course, Agatha Christie
While all of the novels in the Inishowen Mystery Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is:
Death at Whitewater Church
Treacherous Strand
The Well of Ice
Murder at Greysbridge
The Body Falls

      Starred review from November 1, 2023

      In the sixth Inishowen mystery (following The Body Falls), solicitor Benedicta "Ben" O'Keeffe learns that four or five strangers have moved into her parents' home, so she and her boyfriend, Police Sergeant Tom Molloy, rush to Dublin. The people are gone, except for one man from her parents' grief group. After learning Molloy is a Garda, he clears out, leaving her parents fearful. Ben talks them into coming to visit her, just in time for Glendara's Glenfest literary festival. The festival organizers have scored a coup: Gavin Featherstone, a Booker Prize winner and local resident, will appear as keynote speaker. Just as Featherstone begins to read from his forthcoming memoir, he keels over and dies. Ben's office holds Featherstone's original will, so his estranged wife and adult children must consult her. Then the author's assistant brings a later will leaving everything to him. Now Ben has a dilemma. Evidence reveals Featherstone was poisoned, and a killer can't inherit, so the estate will be up in the air until the murderer is discovered. VERDICT Fans of Carlene O'Connor's "County Kerry" novels may appreciate this riveting mystery that can stand alone as a story of complex family relationships.--Lesa Holstine
