Soon after arriving to the sprawling home, situated in the outskirts of a quaint village, her grams delivers some exciting news: she’s planning to retire.

In order to determine if Annabelle is truly interested, Grams invites her along to spend the night at a newly-restored thirteenth-century castle before it is set to open as a hotel.
But not long after settling in for the night at the castle hotel, one of the elderly guests is found face down on the floor, motionless, in one of the opulent quarters. The death is quickly deemed to be of natural causes, but Annabelle has her doubts…
Will the person responsible be apprehended before another victim is claimed?
This fun-filled and clean Irish cozy mystery will have you guessing until the very end.

When Annabelle Shannon arrived from New York to the home of her grandmother in Ireland, she had no idea that she and grams would soon be embroiled in a gruesome murder. The family home, the historic Gladstone Castle, had long been an ideal for Belle to return to, as she loved the beauty of Ireland and the quaint village as well as their sprawling home. Now she would be staying with her grams for the foreseeable future, which she was looking forward to very much.
The night after her arrival, Grams and Belle arrived at a newly restored thirteenth century castle, soon to open as a hotel. The guests, locals who’d been specially invited, were looking forward to their one night stay, but it was the morning after the sumptuous dinner that Mr O’Brian was found dead by his elderly wife. Was it a heart attack? Or was it something much more sinister?
Irish Castle Murder is the 1st in the Castle Tour of Ireland series by Penny Brooke and I quite enjoyed it. In places it was a little unrealistic – the local constabulary taking note of, and requesting the assistance of Belle when she’d only been in the country for 36 hours – and there was little character depth, but I really liked the descriptions of the castles, and the beauty of the Irish countryside. I’ll happily look for #2 in the series. Recommended.

Il libro mi è sembrato ben scritto, ma ho riscontrato diverse problematiche. Innanzitutto, la protagonista è un avvocato, capace di "assalire" i poliziotti quando sembrano voler sminuire come naturale la morte di una persona, ma quando si ritrova a dover interragire con più di due persone a lei sconosciute non sa che fare e che dire, sembra quasi un'imbranata. Poi, in quello che mi sembra di capire essere un villaggio o una piccola cittadina ci sono più edifici descritti come "castelli": questa è una cosa impossibile, basta conoscere un po' di storia per sapere che non era così semplice avere il diritto di erigere una simile struttura. Infine, la polizia locale è descritta come la polizia di una qualsiasi altra nazione, quando quella irlandese (la garda) è un po' particolare: da altri libri, so che il corpo di una persona morta in modo sospetto non viene rimosso fino all'arrivo del medico legale (che, se ben ricordo, si trova solo a Dublino). Insomma, il libro necessitava di qualche ricerca in più prima di essere scritto.

A new series set in Ireland has the main character Annabelle, visiting her grandmother and contemplating a permanent move back to her ancestral home. Drama and mystery ensue with Annabelle's New York City life trying to lure her back before her visit has already started and the death of one of her Grams oldest friends.
I found the setting enjoyable and liked the characters. I look forward to more books in the series and getting to know them all better.

This is book one of the Castle Tours of Ireland Cozy Mystery series and the main character is Annabelle (Belle) Shannon, who takes a leave of absence from her high pressure job as a lawyer in New York City, and returns to the home of her ancestors and the grandmother she used to spend every summer holiday with. Their historic home is the sprawling, but quite run down Gladstone Castle, in Cable Creek which her Grams, Clarissa Gladstone, is finding difficult to manage. She has spent years being a tour guide to the castle for visitors, but is thinking of retiring and going travelling in her seventies. She can’t manage the whole building anymore, even with a bit of help and some good neighbours, and has restricted her use to just a few rooms around the kitchen. She wonders if Annabelle would want to take up the mantle of tour guide in her place, something she isn’t comfortable about. She may be able to face juries and witnesses, but she is uncomfortable in groups of people she doesn’t know. Her Grams has invited Annabelle to come with her to a special night at a recently restored old castle, now Hardcastle Hotel, before it opens to the public. Only about twenty people have been invited, all locals, so Liam, the organizer, can get some useful feedback before the actual opening. They are all shown to their rooms and there is a tour arranged for later once everyone arrives, as well as a sit down meal.
During the meal, one of the other guests, Mr O’Brian, feels something run over his foot and jumps up, shocking everyone else and thinking some sort of bug must be crawling under the table. Liam gets all the guests to clear the room, whilst his staff check for anything, but nothing is found and they continue their meal. The next morning, Annabelle and Grams are awoken by a scream. Annabelle races out of their room to find a group of people outside one of the other rooms, where Mr O’Brian has been found dead on the floor of his room, when his wife returned from breakfast. Most have already formed the opinion due to his age and ill health, that he must have died from a heart attack, but because of her years in her field of work, she notices a few things that make her believe it may be something much more sinister. The young local copper seems to take others opinions of a heart attack at face value and isn’t really concerned about doing any sort of investigating! This infuriates Annabelle, but there isn’t much she can do, unless an autopsy shows a different cause of death.
Only when a detective comes around to question Mrs O’Brian, who is staying with Grams, and also Grams, Liam and Annabelle, does she find out that Mr O’Brian was poisoned. At least this copper is willing to listen to her observations and takes her seriously. Why has Mr O’Brian been killed and what was the motive? Now Annabelle has to try and work out why this man was murdered, being such a stalwart of the village and well liked. The couple have lived there all their lives and know Grams well, although Annabelle only met them the previous night. She should be taking a break from her busy and frantic life, if only her boss Peter would leave her alone and now she is mixed up in the middle of a murder case! Her insights into crime help to solve this murder mystery and stop the murder of another at the last minute. I look forward to seeing more about the area and the Irish countryside that is hinted at, as well as the tours of old castles. There is obviously more to come from Annabelle and her Grams, as well as her dreams for a different life. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

I've had this book in my kindle list for a while to give a try. The author and the series is new to me.
It's a clean cozy mystery with no swearing or graphic details and just what we've come to expect from a quick mystery. I read the book in about 90 minutes, so it's not that long either.
But, I'm a stickler for accuracy in details and the details are sadly lacking even from the very beginning where the author has Annabelle waiting for all the passengers to disembark the plane before she does and then supposedly being first in line at immigration because she doesn't have to pick up luggage at the carousels. However, one does not get their luggage until AFTER they've gone through immigration; her luggage would have already been inspected in NYC before she left so you get your luggage at your destination after going through immigration. From the very beginning, this incorrect description of arriving at an international airport had me thinking I wasn't going to like the book that well.
The characters were kind of flat and not very well developed. I could even give that a pass as it was the first in a series, so I figured the author would give us more details about characters and their backgrounds as one went through the series. But, I didn't even like Annabelle. Why does every author have to make the main character come from NYC before traveling overseas? It's just like a Hallmark movie. I got tired of her pushy attitude and her referencing that she was "from the city," so she just had an "instinct" about things. Give me a break. People from NYC are not the only ones who understand how things work in the world. If she was so smart, she should have realized she wouldn't get a loan from the bank after just arriving in a country where she was not a citizen.
I also did not like how the Garda were portrayed. This book follows the same thing as many, many cozy mysteries in that the main character always has some sort of antagonistic relationship with the local police and always seems to figure things out a little quicker than the police, but, honestly, the garda are no so ignorant and I think the author could have portrayed this relationship without being quite so condescending.
I've read lots of cozy mysteries through the years. I know the format is going to be similar in all of them, but some authors develop their characters, describe their locations, work out the details and do what it takes to keep one reading. Even when I don't like a first book in a series, I usually will give the second one a try just to be sure I'm not missing something. This time, I'm not so sure I'm going to do that.

I found this a very simplistic, almost superficial, mystery, with no real depth of character at all. It was a pleasant few-hour read, but not the best of the genre. I generally felt Annabelle had some backstory probably in a previous book (and I *did* check that this is Book 1 in a series) - a backstory that is not clear enough to make her relatable.
I was confused by the timelines. If Annabelle visited so much as a child, why had she never met her Grams' great friends. If Grams knows everyone in town, why is Annabelle treated as such an outsider? If Annabelle and Grams have such a connection, why isn't Annabelle closer to her? Who is Liam? *Just* the hotel proprietor/Grams' employer?
Is there some connection between Annabelle and this Peter in the office? Is he a boss? She doesn't talk to him as one, yet he dangles the partnership in front of her. Is there some romantic entanglement in their past? The story says one of them was thrice-married (I think the author meant Peter, but the sentence was poorly constructed). That whole relationship didn't make sense to me.
Anyway, it was a pleasant, if somewhat confusing, few hours, but not enough to make me read book 2.

I mean, it’s clean. But it’s a mashup between an implausible, cheesy Hallmark mystery movie and a Walmart version of a Nancy Drew novel without any of the nostalgia. Why is it even in Ireland? - there’s not much here that makes you feel like you’re in Ireland or even in a castle, very little description or setting, and all of the dialogue is generic even in places that a little local flavor would’ve been natural.
We’re all used to the trope of “police jump to conclusions and brush off amateurs” even in classics - but Annabelle is one amateur with the weirdest flexes possible (e.g., “I’m a New York lawyer so I notice things”) that she repeats constantly - y’all, I’d want her out of my crime scene too. I’d have taken her more seriously if she just said she listened to a lot of true crime podcasts. The crime itself, and the laughable evidence the perp planted are just … weird.
So two stars for being clean, I’ll give it that. But it’s mindless, irritatingly so, and ultimately forgettable.

I love the cover and the title on this book and that's what drew me in. It was actually my very favorite thing about the book. The main character is Annabelle, a NYC lawyer who has spent many vacations with her grandmother in her castle in a village in Ireland. The book opens as the plane lands and Annabelle begins what she originally planned as a couple weeks with her Gram. It's an interesting story, but with numbers of what I'll call "wrinkles" in the reading experience. I've never read a book where the main character seemed to change her way of thinking, attitude and agenda quite so often - in both small and larger ways. There was a real feeling that she didn't stay in character - I think that's basically the gist of it. Otherwise, it was a clean read and a decent mystery, and I did like the castle aspects.

A good murder mystery needs to be consistent in basic facts and details. I think the book fails this test in the very first chapter when the heroine disembarks the plane after everyone else, and yet is the first to reach immigration because she has no check-in luggage and not detained at the carrousel. In real life, luggage pick-up at an airport invariably comes AFTER immigration, so there is no way the heroine who has disembarked last can reach immigration ahead of all other passengers. This is indicative of the level of the author’s attention to details. I chose to speed-read the rest by following only the dialogues, which I think does the book justice.

I'd been meaning to get to this book since it was published and I'm glad I finally had the chance. Annabelle was different from most of the main characters I've read about since she was a busy lawyer who needed a break...and took said break in Ireland indefinitely. It'll be interesting to see what she gets into while she's there and if her Grams does decide to do some traveling.
Once the book was to a certain point, it wasn't too hard to guess the killer, but I loved how the police staged a reenactment of the events leading to the murder. I'm sure that took the perp off guard. I'll be borrowing the next in series on KU soon!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Annabelle returns to Ireland at the request of her grams and also to re-access her own life. While there, they attend a pre-opening night at a castle hotel. Unfortunately the night isn't as peaceful as hoped when a guest dies in the morning. It is Annabelle going on her experience with law that helps solve both the murder and attempted murder. The culprit was a complete surprise that is revealed at the end of the book.

Annabelle was tired of her big city life so when her grandmother invited her to the family castle in Ireland, she gladly accepted the invitation. When they were both invited to an elegant dinner at a new castle, they never thought a murder would take place there. Annabelle is convinced that Mr. O'Brien didn't die from a heart attack and the town sheriff was moving to close the case as a natural death. She put all the pieces together n uncovered the murderer, much to everyone's surprise.
A simple cozy mystery set in Ireland.

A great start to a new cozy mystery series. The storyline is captivating, pulls you in and holds your interest with suspense, mystery and murder. Add in a bit of humor and it entertains you as you try to solve the mystery before you reach the end. The characters are well developed, enjoyable, easy to get to know and bring intrigue to the story.

This was a very nice little cozy! I love cozies, and I love all things Irish, so this was perfect. It was also well-written, and the dialogue was done well. (For me, that's an important piece to the puzzle of whether or not I enjoy a book.)
I really liked this, and I will be exploring other books by the author. If you're a cozy mystery fan who also happens to enjoy all things Irish, this would be a great book for you to try!

The author has given us a wonderful story that pulls us into the lives of Annabelle and her grandmother. As they attend the pre-opening of a local hotel, they are confronted with a murder the next morning. Can Annabelle use her law experience to try to find the murderer?

First book in a new series. I loved it can't wait for more. Annabelle Shannon comes to Ireland to visit her Grandma and get away from her crazy busy stressed life on New York. Great set-up for more adventures for Annabelle..

New series is excellent
I really enjoyed this new series from Penny Brooke. I've read most of her other books and loved this one. Has a strong female lead, travel, a spunky grandma, and of course a mystery to solve, what's not to like?

This is a clean cozy. The location is described beautifully. The characters are a wonderful bunch of people. The story is great. Can not wait to read the next in the series, or any thing by Penny Brook.

I wish the book was longer with more details about the main characters. However, it was very readable and well paced. The series has a lot of potential.
This was my first book by this author. I really like her writing style. The book is a solid, level headed cozy mystrry.

Clever and interesting
I'm quite fond of my newest friend that I found here.
Except for Shannon Air Port, I've only seen Ireland from the air. It's gorgeous.
Our heroine was a tiny bit slow on the uptake but overall quite intelligent.

Enjoyable read
Annabelle, an American lawyer, takes an extended leave of absence to visit her grandmother in Ireland. The descriptions of the locality, and the people are wonderfully created. The plot was intriguing and somewhat believable.

Fast but a Good read
Though it is quite a fast paced read, I couldn't put it down. The culprit was an easy guess if you really pay attention, but for a first of a series it's a good read. I suggest giving it a chance.
