I read Yule Pay Dearly by Elizabeth Penney in this series but it is not in Goodreads. It was a cute Christmas mystery, perfect short read for the season. I enjoyed it!

An Irish village I would love to visit!

A visit back to Ireland to see her grandmother & other family has Penny visiting, working in the tea shop & figuring out a murder. Can she go back to America after that? Maybe not!

very cozy, nice love story, surprise, and cool facts.
I do wish I could find the sequel steeped in lies on this app though

It was a cute little read. A bit old fashioned, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I liked the Irish definitions, sayings, meals, etc.
