Death on the Green

The Dublin Driver Mysteries #2

by Catie Murphy

As an American in Dublin, limo driver Megan Malone will need the luck of the Irish to avoid a head-on collision--with a killer . . .

Life has been non-stop excitement for American Army veteran Megan Malone ever since she moved to Ireland and became a driver for Dublin's Leprechaun Limousine Service. She's solved a murder and adopted two lovable Jack Russell puppies. Currently, she's driving world-class champion golfer Martin Walsh, and he's invited her to join him while he plays in a tournament at a prestigious Irish locale. Unfortunately, there's a surprise waiting for her on the course--a body floating in a water hazard.

Everyone loved golfer Lou MacDonald, yet he clearly teed off someone enough to be murdered. Martin seems to be the only one with a motive. However, he also has an alibi: Megan and hundreds of his fans were watching him play. Now, with a clubhouse at an ancient castle full of secrets and a dashing Irish detective by her side, Megan must hurry to uncover the links to the truth before the real killer takes a swing at someone else . . .

In this second book in 'The Dublin Driver' series, limousine driver/amateur sleuth Megan Malone investigates murder on a golf course. The book can be read as a standalone.

*****

After serving in the U.S. Army for twenty years, Texan Megan Malone takes advantage of her dual American/Irish citizenship to move to the Emerald Isle. Being gregarious by nature, Megan takes a job driving for the classy Leprechaun Limousine Service, where she gets to chauffeur - and chat up - the rich and famous.



Megan's boss/landlady, a crusty woman named Orla "could be a snake, and she'd take you for every penny she could", but Megan likes her job and her coworkers....and even has a grudging respect for Orla.



Megan's current clients are Martin and Heather Walsh, professional golfers who've come to Dublin for a golf tournament on Bull Island.







Heather is Martin's much younger third wife, which may explain why she puts up with his chauvinism and tendency to hog the limelight.

As the story opens Megan has dropped Heather off at the women's golf course and is tagging along with Martin's entourage as he plays on the men's course. As Martin and his retinue clear a rise on the 15th hole they spot a man, face down, in a pond.



Megan jumps into the freezing water and - with Martin's help - pulls the man out and does CPR. Megan's efforts are useless and the dead man turns out to be Walsh's friend and fellow golfer Lou MacDonald. Suspecting foul play, Megan phones Detective Paul Bourke, whom she'd met three months earlier, when one of her clients was murdered.



Bourke and his team discover that MacDonald was killed by a blow to the head, but a motive is hard to discern. MacDonald was a genial well-liked widower, in town to compete for the Ryder Cup wild-card position....as was Martin Walsh.

Before long another body turns up, and the case gets more complicated.

Megan, being an inherent nosybody, decides to investigate the crimes alongside the police. To accomplish this Megan eavesdrops on conversations; hovers around police interviews; and speaks to people who knew the deceased. Thus Megan befriends Lou MacDonald's daughter Saoirse - an environmental lawyer who's distraught about her dad's death.



At one point Saoirse spends the night in Megan's apartment and snuggles with Megan's three adorable dogs - a Jack Russell terrier and her two puppies, Dip and Thong (get it.....dipthong).



While Megan's investigating she still has to do her job, and Orla assigns Megan to chauffeur eccentric millionaire Carmen de la Fuente "who usually had two or three women hanging on her arms, dripping with lavish jewelry and, often, not much more."



Carmen wants Megan to wear a gold chauffeur's uniform for the evening, and even sends a sexy low-cut outfit in the right size. This leads to Megan and Detective Bourke being guests at a yacht party, where Megan gathers clues for her investigation.



The book has a wonderful Irish ambiance as Megan drives around Dublin and chats with the local people.



Additional characters include a knowledgeable caddie; an Irish actress in Hollywood; a pushy sports reporter; a snobby golf club manager; a neighbor who babysits Megan's dogs; Megan's co-workers at the limousine service; a woman from Megan's gym; and more - all of whom add a fun element to the story.

I enjoyed this pleasant cozy and look forward to reading more books in the series.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author (Catie Murphy), and the publisher (Kensington Books) for a copy of the book.

American Army veteran Megan Malone is a limo driver Dublin, working for Leprechaun Limousine Service. Her current client, champion golfer Martin Walsh, has invited her to a tournament at the plush Royal Dublin Golf Club. During an exhibition round, Megan spots something floating in a water hazard and it turns out to be another golfer, and friend of Martin, Lou MacDonald...

Death on the Green is my first read in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although it is book two, I was able to keep up with characters and events, but I would have preferred to have started from the first novel for continuity reasons. The Dublin setting was great and I loved the morsels of information about the area and culture that were scattered about. I enjoyed all of the interactions between Megan and Detective Bourke, and their humorous banter often made me laugh. Although there were a lot of people to keep track of in the novel I never felt overwhelmed by them all. The lavish dress-up, yacht party was entertaining, and I adored the contributions from Megan's friends, Niamh and Fionn, who briefly enriched the melting pot.

Protagonist Megan's job as a limo driver was unique for a cozy mystery. She was gutsy, independent, and witty, and her military background made her actions plausible. The mystery itself was great; it had me nonplussed though I finally settled on a culprit, but couldn’t pinpoint the motive. The fun-filled and intriguing story held my interest to the end and I didn't want to put down my Kindle.

I am looking forward to catching up with Megan in book 1, Dead in Dublin, as well as grabbing a copy of book 3, Death of an Irish Mummy, which is due out in 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Kensington Books via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

Thank you Kensington Books and NetGalley for this free ARC in return for my honest review.
Very disappointed with this book. How can a super plot get lost in a bunch of characters I really could not care about and have one of the most unbelievable and convoluted endings imagined. The plot was good, a golfer dies with no apparent suspects and with no witnesses. From there we get into some interesting golf and family issues, but our main character, Meghan, who drives a limousine, just turns me off with all her side comments and holier than thou attitudes about men. The entire chapters about a wealthy client who dresses Meghan in a gold outfit are asinine, and so this book fails on so many levels for me. I have enjoyed many books with female detectives or female amateur detectives, but this one is a big Zero for me. Sorry Kensington, I usually love your cozy mysteries but this one is a clunker.

[Dawn Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this one better than the first one and I think that is because I was able to read this one and not listen to it [there were issues with the narrator]; the only issue was that, even with the help at the front, I could not for the LIFE OF ME, remember how to pronounce all those Irish names.

Poor Megan [who really is shaping up to be a great MC. She works hard, sleuths when she can and has excellent friends], she just cannot catch a break. Not 4 months have gone by since the last murder [of one of her clients; something her boss is still salty about], when, at a golf outing, featuring her client Martin Walsh, golf pro extraordinaire, she finds a man dead in a water hazard. And it just goes all downhill from there. And the end/reveal was a little pulse pounding [and very unexpected. I am still a little gobsmacked, though I had guessed one thing, but I think you were supposed to you know?] and very well done.

I still believe these are the very cusp of being a cozy mystery and a regular mystery. There is enough language and murder descriptions to put them right on that line between the two. Regardless, I am still going to read them, but it might be a bit of a shock to someone who was not expecting the full Irish [and if you have read books set in Ireland or by Irish authors, you know exactly what I mean there].

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a delightful cozy mystery. I loved the Irish setting and protagonist, Army veteran Megan Malone. The plot kept me guessing until the end and I enjoyed every minute of it.

[JoAn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Death on the Green by Catie Murphy was another enticing cozy mystery set in Ireland which got my attention from the first chapter.

I like Megan Malone and her independent attitude and caring nature of her clients. A well crafted plot, multiple suspects, so many twists and turns and descriptive writing that allowed me to feel as I was with Megan every step of the way. This was a complex mystery that kept me guessing not only about who was behind the murders but why they had occurred. I was completely shocked at the reveal which I loved. I enjoyed learning the differences in American language and that used in Ireland throughout the story which often added humor to the story.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Kensington via NetGalley. All of the above opinions are my own.

Questa serie si conferma vincente. Le descrizioni ambientali sono ben fatte e ti sembra di essere a Dublino insieme ai personaggi; adoro la protagonista e il detective e come interagiscono fra loro e c'è un buon cast di comprimari; il mistero è ben congegnato e la soluzione è alquanto complessa. Quando esce il prossimo? Devo aspettare tutti questi mesi? Sigh...

[Gail C. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second book in the Dublin Driver series featuring Megan Malone, an American who has exercised her dual citizenship and moved to Ireland after serving twenty years in the military as a medic. She is employed by a high end limousine service and is one of the top drivers because she can communicate easily with both Irish and American clients. Her attraction to the job is, as she explains it, because she is nosy and loves to hear all the gossip and information she gets as a result of driving these people around.
Although it is the second in the series, this book stands alone quite well. There is no need to have read the first book, as there is little overlap in terms of on-going stories between Megan and secondary characters. Those who do appear for a second time, like Detective Paul Bourke, have sufficient information for the reader to understand his relationship with Megan and that it began with a previous investigation that was chronicled in the first book.
In this novel, Megan has been assigned the Walshes, a golfing couple. He is an Irish superstar who is trying to make a comeback and is well known for his charismatic, Irish charm. She is an up and coming young golfer, his third wife and considerably his junior. Other characters involved are the Walshes’ best friend Lou MacDonald, the first victim, his daughter, Mr. Walsh’s caddy, and various people who work Megan’s limousine company. Because some of these names are typical Irish names and spellings, Murphy has included a pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book which is quite helpful.
The first day of driving the Walshes, Megan takes them to the golf course for Mr. Walsh to play an exhibition round. In the middle of his exhibition, the golfer and his gallery spot a body in a water hazard. Megan, aided by Mr. Walsh, pulls the body out and they discover it is his good friend, Lou MacDonald who has been murdered by some sort of blow to his head.
As the story unfolds, Megan begins to see Mr. Walsh is a smooth, charming man who is singularly focused on winning the golf tournament. As his caddy explains, he is totally committed to golfing, and indeed has his best games when the world around him is in chaos. Mrs. Walsh is also in a tournament at a sister golf club since the club where Mr. Walsh’s tournament is being held doesn’t allow women members. This is a minor point in the book, as it gives Megan an opportunity to express some equal opportunity thoughts she has
As the investigation unfolds, things get more complicated with the discovery that MacDonald’s daughter had an affair with Walsh that ended only when he married Heather. The daughter has pent-up resentment toward Walsh and his wife, but she is focused on her job as an environmentalist locked in a clash with an entrepreneur who wants to develop an area of the island where the golf clubs are located. Megan winds up beriending both Mrs. Walsh and Ms. MacDonald which leads to greater understanding between the two women.
The writing has enough Irish idioms to help the reader experience Dublin and surrounds in their mind while not being intrusive. If you are a reader who “hears” the conversation in your head while reading the book, it’s easy to hear the Irish accents that are speaking. The story has some excellent twists and turns and the reveal of the murderer has enough tension to pick up the reader’s pace. There are plenty of clues and the final solution is one that is totally satisfying and brings the book to a logical close. This is an excellent series that is enjoyable in every way.
My thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley for an Advance Digital Read copy of this novel. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

[The Cozy Review · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the first book in this series; set in the exotic country of Ireland and filled with rain, wind, and lots of golf, Death on the Green did not disappoint. The main character of Megan is very likable, and readers will find her to be a great representation of what it would be like to be an American working and living in a foreign country. Other characters, especially Megan's gruff boss, Orla, are better defined in this book. Orla is beginning to grow on me. Even Detective Paul Bourke is softening up a bit.

The murder of golfer Lou MacDonald while the main suspects are on the green seems like an impossible task to figure out, but Megan goes to work straight away. Suspects aren't limited to just one or two, there is a golf tournament going on, and golfers have flocked to Ireland to participate. The killer could be anyone, and the motive is anyone's guess. By all accounts, Lou was a great guy, a loving father, and a loyal friend; a motive doesn't jump out for the reader or those investigating. It takes a while, relationship drama, and another murder before Megan and the detective figure out who the murderer is and track them down, but they succeed, and justice is handed out.

Ireland's setting evokes ideas to the reader of chucking everything, moving to an exotic location, taking up a new career, and making new friends. Even if they don't play golf, twist, and turns in this story help readers come to a conclusion about who the killer is, but some will come to the wrong conclusion. The introduction of Carmen, a new character, was completely unnecessary and, in some ways, distracted from the plot. The story verse on its path from time-to-time but eventually comes back to the main plotline. Overall I feel that readers who enjoyed the first book will also enjoy Death on the Green. I hope we see more from this author and this series.

The second in the Dublin Driver series is every bit as good as the first, I dare say even better! Set in Ireland, Megan finds herself retired from the military and driving limos/towncars for the rich and famous which often puts her in the wrong place at the right time to trip over dead bodies. This plot finds the world of driving the golf elite a dangerous sport! As always, great cast development, superb plotting and witty dialogue keeps you entertained and turning pages for hours on end or in my case listening for hours on end as I've found the series on audiobook which is tons of fun. Although I do wish the narrator would stop trying to give Megan a Texas accent as it's clear she doesn't do southern accents well. Fortunately, you get used to the weird attempt of twang and it is only on Megan's dialogue and not during the majority of the narration. I've got the third book downloaded to listen to, but then I'll switch to reading the future books. Unfortunately this series will be on my must read list and not my must listen list.

[Kristen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed book two in this series as much as book one. This could become one of my favourite cozy series'.

I really like Megan as our main character. She is smart and capable, as well as cheeky and funny. I love her sense of humour and appreciation of the ridiculous that continues to barge into her life, with dead bodies falling around her with distressing frequency.

I also love the amount of Irish that fills these books. Turns of phrase, ways of life, descriptions of food and other cultural references really makes the reader feel like they are IN Ireland with the characters. Since Ireland is right at the top of my travel wish-list, I particularly enjoy the feeling that I am visiting there when reading this series.

Finally, but not least, I absolutely love the dogs in this series! Their names, their antics and the way they help to sooth people when they really need that is a sweet aspect of these books.

There's really nothing about this series I don't like, and I definitely plan to continue reading it.

[Caitlyn Lynch · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m absolutely loving this series of cozy mysteries featuring Megan Malone, a Texan former army driver who’s retired to a quiet life driving limousines in Dublin and somehow keeps managing to stumble over dead bodies. In this one, it’s a professional golfer found floating face-down in a water hazard that kicks off the action, and since the victim was both the best friend and greatest rival of Megan’s current client and she was the first to get to the body, she can hardly help but be in the thick of things.

Catie Murphy does include a fairly hefty cast in her books, but every character is distinctly drawn enough that I didn’t find anything confusing, and I also think I could have read this one quite comfortably as a standalone even if I hadn’t read the first in the series. I love Megan, a steady, calm presence in the midst of the whirlwind, a woman who is completely comfortable with her bisexuality incidentally, and even finds it hilarious when a (female) client is willing to pay her to dress up in a very objectifying outfit. There are some seriously funny, laugh-out-loud moments here, several caused by the ‘language’ barrier between American and colloquial Irish slang and the double entendres it’s far too easy to make. Megan doesn’t take herself too seriously, but she is serious about her job and about doing her best for people, and it makes her an intensely likeable character.

As a golf widow myself I was fairly entertained by all the golfing references, and there were enough twists and turns in the mystery to keep me guessing right up until the end. This is easily my favourite cozy mystery series at the moment and I’m eagerly looking forward to the next installment. Five stars.

Awww, I loved this! I complained that the last book ended abruptly but it picked up happily here and I feel like I could read a dozen instalments of these low-key mysteries about low-key charming people. It's also wonderfully queer!

[Stephanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This may be a murder mystery series, but honestly, it feels SO immersively cozy and uplifting to read, because - even moreso in this second book of the series - it's chock-full of people helping each other in ways small and large in a fabulously expanding network of kindness. Even when there's the potential for romantic entanglements/confusion (because my personal guess is that in the longterm, the bi heroine - who is currently casually dating another woman from her gym - will eventually end up with Detective Paul Bourke, who is currently casually dating one of her other friends), there is absolutely zero angst involved as everyone is so utterly amiable about all of the different options and opportunities.

The Dublin setting in this one is just as vivid, richly-detailed and appealing as in book 1, and I loved all of the characters - maybe even more than in book 1. I've already preordered Book 3, and I am SO impatient for it to come out! I hope this series goes on for years and years to come.

[Kirsti · Rating 5 out of 5]

When I read the first book in this series, I immediately jumped on amazon and preordered the next! THAT was how much I enjoyed it. Every time I powered up my kindle in the last few days, this was glaring at me to read it, so over two nights before bed I dove in and definitely didn't regret it. Megan is a super character, so supportive and out making friends the entire time she solves mysteries. She really gets involves and really cares, even if she's just met someone, and that makes the reader care what happens to them too.

All of it combines with a beautiful Irish setting that I can only imagine, and you have yourself one of the best up and coming series in the genre. (and despite the fact that the next book isn't due until June next year, yes, I ordered it as well) I can't wait to see where Megan finds herself next, what happens romance wise, and get updates on the pups and her friends. A really fantastic series, go and read it! Five stars

When Army veteran, Megan Malone, decides to move to Ireland she takes a job as a limo driver for Leprechaun Limousine Service and finds that her job involves more than driving important clients - in this case it's solving a murder.

I loved the idea of a cozy mystery set in Ireland. The descriptions are so lush, the reader feels as if they're right there, solving crimes with Megan. Megan is an independent and curious person who is drawn into a mystery when the client she was driving is charged with murder. The mystery is filled with "red herrings" and twists that I loved. The golf theme enhanced the mystery without overshadowing the book.

I'll be checking back with Megan for her next case!

This second entry in the Dublin Driver mystery is a fun read. Former Army medic Megan Malone has relocated to Dublin after her retirement from the military. She is a limo driver for Leprechaun Limousine Service, owned by a crusty but fair female boss, who also happens to be Megan's landlady.

Megan is a great character, 40ish, professional and competent and also empathetic. She has made friends in Ireland and generally gets along with most folks. Her big character flaw, common to cozy heroines, is a truly insatiable curiosity. And, also a staple in cozies, Megan seems to run across more dead bodies than your average person -- in this book, she finds two and literally trips over one.

Her current clients are a famous pro golfer and his second wife, who is also a pro golfer. We find out that this is a pretty small world and there are lots of old issues, professional jealousy, and relationship secrets amongst the golfing clan.

Megan is a nice person, though tough and outspoken, and she (somewhat unbelievably) winds up with two different friends/relatives of one of the murder victims staying at her apartment during the course of the book. She is constantly nudging the investigating garda to spill more details or allow her to become more involved.

This is a quick and entertaining read and I look forward to more of Megan's adventures. Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

This was a fun read. The author did a great job of describing the location, the accent, the interactions, slang and characters. I loved listening to the banter between Megan, the main character and her friends. Megan, a retired Army Veteran has relocated to Ireland and is working as a driver for a limo service in Dublin. This is the second in the series, and I feel like I should have read the first one prior to this one because I would have had a much better understanding of the characters and their relationships. Megan is driving Martin and Heather Walsh, who are both famous golfers. I am not really a golfing fan, so some of the details were lost on me, but the author did not drone on about different putters or drivers (extent of my golfing knowledge), but instead focused mostly on the dynamics of the game.

Martin's dear friend, Lou is found dead in a pond. Martin seems to have a motive, but Megan knows he also has an alibi. She seems like one of those people who is just able to get information out of others without really trying, people just like talking to her. She starts gathering clues and just becomes even more confused with everything that unfolds. I think my favorite thing about Megan was her big heart and want to make people feel included. She wants to help everyone, which I appreciate. I will definitely be looking for the next book in this series.

[Karren Hodgkins · Rating 2 out of 5]

I appreciated the dynamic and exciting start to this cozy, murder mystery. The intrigue drew me in. And yet. Somehow by the end of the book I was really struggling with the storyline. I think perhaps for me, just too many things were not what they seemed. It felt like there were U-turns as opposed to a deeper understanding from digging deeper into the characters.

Its not that the main character Meghan ( a limo driver) is unlikeable but somehow I found her role incredible. The professional, a respected detective, was on the fringe while she was in the thick of it all and located and assembled the key pieces to the puzzle. I also wondered why some elements (and characters) were included at all.

I love a good cozy, murder mystery so am sorry this one just didn't strike a chord with me.

[Cherry London · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story started off on a good note and went flat after a couple of chapters, I wasn’t entertained with the romantic or should I say the sexual aspect parts of this book, Meagan’s sexual preferences were not something I’m accustomed to. I find too much drama was at play here, it took quite a while getting to the bottom of this mystery. This would make an entertaining read for those who cotton to this time of sexual flavor but on a mystery level, I believed it needed a bit more intrigue.

[Anna Fox · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really love this series. Who wouldn't want to be able to move to Ireland? Not sure I'd want Megan's job however. Some of the characters are quite interesting (in a good way), others wouldn't want to have to interact with, but do need those in a mystery or it wouldn't be much of one.
