The O'Sullivan Six are back in another fun Irish romp. Siobhan O'Sullivan and her five younger siblings were orphaned after a car crash, and her job is to keep the family cafe going and to make sure her brood stays out of trouble. This time around a celebrity chooses their little village for her wedding and things start to get interesting when the best man turns up dead.

Siobhan is a willful and intelligent young lady, and her curiosity and persistence keep annoying local law enforcement, including her boyfriend Macdara.

A light and entertaining read. I was provided a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I was so happy to return to Carlene O'Connor's charming Irish village and visit with Siobhan and Macdara again. The author paints the most beautiful pictures with her poetic prose. Each word seems chosen to bring the most meaning and have the greatest impact. Siobhan is witty, thoughtful and bright, and I appreciate the fact that Macdara appreciates this about her. I would give this 10 stars if I could, and I can't wait for future visits.

I absolutely loved Carlene O'Connor's Murder at an Irish Wedding. It was a thrill to be able to read and review this book before it comes out February 28th. I had absolutely fallen in love with her first book Murder in an Irish Village and was equally impressed with her second book. Murder at an Irish Wedding had me not wanting to put it down. This was such a great mystery and I tucked in with my tea and read each word with that beautiful Irish lilt in my head. This was a great escape cozy, a feel good cozy and a mystery that had me guessing until the end. I truly had not figured out the murderer until the big reveal and was taken a back at that reveal. This was brilliant and such a treat to read.

Siobhan O'Sullivan has inherited her mother's bistro in the charming Irish town of Kilbane, along with a passel of younger brothers and sisters. She's thinking about college, how to cope without her parents, and her boyfriend, a police detective.

But when the high-profile wedding of her boyfriend's old school chum turns up in the local castle, Siobhan can't help getting drawn in. Plenty of shenanigans ensue, with lots of local color, complex relationships, quirky characters, adorable children, and interesting architecture.

The plot is the weak point of the book. There's no reason at all for Siobhan to be involved in the investigation, though the author tries to fix that up with a mysterious natural proclivity for murder investigations. There's little logic to Siobhan's actions or conclusions, either.

Overlook the weakness of the puzzle, and you have a charming little romance with some detective interruptions. Future books in the series may clean up this weakness and give us an unusual and appealing detective

A lovely story set in beautiful Ireland that will have you packing your bags to go and see it all for yourself. It stars a group of siblings of various ages all working together to keep the bistro that their parents started going after the death of their parents. The bistro setting as the scene of the wedding of a local celebrity gives the author the opportunity to include an interesting cast of neighbors and friends. That, plus the story of the relationship between the siblings, makes this something that you will come to care about. This character development makes this book a cut above most mysteries, and the plot is satisfying as well and will leave you eagerly anticipating the next book in this series.
