Murder, She Wrote: Death on the Emerald Isle

Informationen zum Autor Jessica Fletcher and Terrie Farley Moran Klappentext "A trip to Northern Ireland becomes unexpectedly grim for Jessica Fletcher in this new entry in the USA Today bestselling Murder, She Wrote series. Jessica Fletcher is quick to accept an invitation to replace a speaker who couldn't attend a Book Festival in Belfast, Ireland. When her Cabot Cove neighbor Maeve O'Bannon hears about the trip, she asks Jessica to deliver some paintings to her family in the village of Bushmills. Happy to extend her travels and see more of the Irish countryside, Jessica agrees. The festival goes off without a hitch, and it seems like Jessica is in for a relaxing vacation. But then Maeve's cousin Michael is discovered dead under suspicious circumstances. Jessica finds herself once again in the midst of a murder investigation, and she'll have to dig into the O'Bannon family's secrets to unmask the killer"-- Leseprobe Chapter One Seth Hazlitt, my longtime friend and Cabot Cove's favorite doctor, was sitting at my kitchen table sipping coffee while I was trying to cross as many items off my to-do list as possible. "Okay, so, now Susan Shevlin checked in with Jed Richardson and has booked all my connecting flights. We're so lucky to have a world-class travel agent as a friend and neighbor. You are going to look after my house. Oh, and I need to ask Maeve O'Bannon if she will keep an eye on my garden, especially those seedlings I planted two weeks ago." Seth tugged at his eyeglasses, peered across the table at my seemingly unending roster of chores, and said, "Jessica, I don't understand why whenever anyone imposes on your time, you rearrange your entire life to help them out. Doesn't seem fair to me. Would anyone do the same for you? And I sure could use some pastry to go with this coffee." "Well, then, you should have stopped at Charlene Sassi's bakery before you came by. Since I'm leaving in two days, I need to empty out my refrigerator, not fill it with snacks, although, as you can see, my fruit bowl isn't quite empty." A thought popped into my head and I jotted, "Temporarily cancel delivery of the Cabot Cove Gazette," on my notepaper before I continued. "I don't see why you are making such a big fuss over a little trip. I am simply doing a favor for a friend. Believe me, if the situation were reversed, Lorna Winters would do the same for me." Seth guffawed. "A little trip? Is that what you're calling it? Let me tell you, driving an hour or two up the coast to Belfast, Maine, might be something I would consider a little trip. Traveling from here to Belfast, Northern Ireland, that is what I call a l-o-n-g trip. Wasn't it only last Tuesday that you claimed to be too busy to go fishing on Moon Lake for a few short hours with me along with Mort and Maureen Metzger? But today, at the drop of a hat . . ." I counted to ten and then replied, hoping my exasperation didn't show, "Seth, Lorna Winters didn't drop a hat. Since you are a physician, I would think you'd appreciate the consequences of breaking her leg in several places. The leg is now in what Lorna described as a 'torturous cast' from ankle to hip and she is confined to a wheelchair. Her doctor insists that she stay home in Minnesota so that he can look after her. You know how finicky doctors can be, so there is no way she can go to the Belfast Book Festival and accept the American Author Guest of Honor Award without violating her doctor's orders." "It is only common sense to follow doctor's orders," Seth said. "But it seems to me some committee member could pack up her award in a tidy box and drop it in the mail, and your friend would have her trophy, or whatever, in no time." "There is far more to Lorna's participation than accepting a plaque. She is scheduled for interviews and panels specifically geared to American mysteries. So many things will have to be rearranged if ...
