EIRE OF SUSPICION
An Irish Cozy Mystery

My name is Siobhan Sullivan, and I’ve recently returned from Boston after my marriage failed and I lost my job.

I grew up in the town of Ballyferrig, Co. Limerick, Ireland. Little did I know that after moving into my grandmother’s house, rest her soul, I’d be involved in a murder of  a sweet old lady.

But my inability to let sleeping dogs lie puts me smackbang in the crosshairs of whoever did the deed.

Good thing Garda sergeant Liam is there to save me. Or is he? Cause the grumpy guts can barely look at me whenever we meet.

——————–

I hope you’re looking forward to Siobhan’s story. Watch this space because I will post a chapter a day on my website for free for 24 hours. Each day, there will be a new instalment until the story is finished. 

And then I’ll publish it on Amazon so if you missed a chapter, you can still read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

Kidnapped. Drained. Killed.

“Study hard,” they said. “Behave yourself and we’ll let you go,” they said. Yeah, right. That was before everybody and their donkey tried to kill me.

When kids start disappearing from the school, I fear none of us will make it out of the Second Chance Academy alive. And what's up with the damned cat?!?"

Last term, I found a death list. This term, I’m on it.

"I thought things were settling down. That the worst things I’d face are final exams.

Wrong. One by one, my boys disappear until I’m the only one left.

So what am I supposed to do now? Rolling over and waiting for death isn’t my style. I prefer going down kicking my enemies in the balls. Or beg them to let me go. Their choice."

Careful what you wish for!

"We finally made it out of the academy. Struggling with a devastating loss, I thought things were looking up. Turns out my old enemies are still hunting us.

So here we are again. Struggling against overwhelming odds. And the damned cat isn't helping! I wished I was back behind the safe walls of the Second Chance Academy."

What do a ghost, a half-incubus, and a human cat have in common?

"Me.
Amber Whitman. Bearer of Lightning. Smiter of Evil. And a girl who’s trying to keep them from killing each other.

The choice is theirs. All I know is that I’m ready to take names and kick ass."

The promises were all false–the Fae were never going to let us go

"Macha, our cat boy, has finally been found… just in time to be sacrificed in an arena full of Unseelie monsters. Of course, Lance, Kiernan, and Julian won’t allow that to happen. Except I’m so frail, I might not survive until they return from their mission. So now my men have to decide–save me? Or save Macha? As we become embroiled in a power struggle between the Fae and the human realms, who will help us? Who will make sure we’ll get back to our world alive?"

WELCOME TO MY SITE

My name is Marian Hayes, I live in Frankfurt, Germany, and I’m passionate about cozy mystery, particularly when they’re set in small town Ireland. 

I write at my living room table, usually covered with folded laundry because I couldn’t be bothered to tidy before sitting down. My kids are teenagers, so not much help there either.

I do love having them around, and I’ve gotten used to writing with a background noise of Grand Theft Auto and teenage histrionics. Maybe that’s why I prefer writing action scenes over descriptive settings!

Why are my stories set in Ireland? Because my husband is from Co. Limerick and I lived there for six years some time ago. In fact, we’re likely moving back soon into his childhood home. Let me tell you that inspiration in terms of people, landscape, and towns is all around me there!

Check out my Pinterest account to see photos I took that inspired me. Finding pics of my main characters is always fun! 🙂 

I love to talk to my readers, online and offline, so feel free to drop me a line!
