As the new owner of Sullivan's Pub in County Cork,
Ireland, Maura Donovan gets an earful of all the village
gossip. But uncovering the truth about some local rumors may
close her down for good...
Bostonian Maura is beginning to feel settled in her new
Irish home, just in time for summer tourist season to bring
fresh business to her pub. But the first traveler to arrive
is thirsty for more than just a pint of Guinness. Althea
Melville is hot on the trail of a long-lost Van Dyck
painting.
Maura agrees to help Althea meet with the residents at
the local manor house, the most likely location of the
missing art. But when the manor's gardener is found
murdered, Maura wonders what Althea's real motives are. Now,
to solve the secret of the lost portrait and catch a killer,
Maura will have to practice her Irish gift of gab and hunt
down some local history-before someone else is out of the
picture...
