Who knew Irish coffee could be deadly? Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis and Barbara Ross, that's who! That delicious St. Patrick's Day treat weaves its way through three murderous tales that may have you thinking twice about imbibing - nah, it only makes it more fun!I

Lucy Stone delves into the world of Irish step dancing and finds that murder and dancing go together. When the Mom of a dancer is killed, Lucy has to separate gossip from fact and keep her life safe. Hailey Powell discovers murder among old friends and Julia Snowden solves a ghost story/mystery that took place over a hundred years ago.

Though I read this book in August, the writing drew me in until I really felt a need for a cozy blanket and some Irish coffee. An anytime treat you'll love!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I received an ARC of, Irish Coffee Murder, by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis, and Barbara Ross. This enjoyable book has three mysteries, surrounded by Irish Coffee. I love that there is recipes in this book, a really lovely read. Curl up to 3 cozy mysteries.

I adore novellas!

What’s better than a novella between books? Novellas! What’s better than a novella? three novellas for three of your favorite series and authors! Even better is they’re all themed around St. Patrick’s Day and make for a cozy read! Spend some time with Julia, Lucy and Hayley and enjoy the mysteries!

If you like cozy mysteries this book is for you!. Three of the best mystery writers have put together 3 short mysteries around a St. Patrick's theme. This is a small dose of the characters that are featured in their longer novels. I highly recommend reading the longer novels by these authors.

What a great cozy!!!! This is the perfect book to curl up with it has 3 different novellas in it and I throughly enjoyed all three I loved catching up and reading a new adventure from some of my favorite cozy characters!!!! All three stories were well written and engaging I also loved the Saint Patricks day and Ireland theme of the books I will be recommending this book for sure!

Much thanks to #netgalley and #kensington for selecting me for this advanced readers copy to read and review , all thoughts and opinions are my own

I will also be posting my review of this book to the Facebook group I created @DOMESTIC THRILLER READERS BOOK CLUB closer to the publication date of this book

Irish Coffee Murder by Leslie Meier; Lee Hollis; Barbara Ross is an exc collection of three cozy mystery novellas that celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and the tasty beverage of Irish Coffee. I loved it!

These three authors and their respective cozy mystery series are truly my three favorite series of all time (in addition to Hannah Swenson). I discovered this amazing genre when I stumbled upon Leslie Meier and her beyond excellent Lucy Stone Mystery series over 10 years ago. I devoured that first book, and never looked back. It is my go-to genre, my three go-to authors that can’t go wrong, and it makes it even better that this is holiday-themed (my personal favorites). Needless to say that I am highly recommending this wonderful collection.

IRISH COFFEE MURDER by LESLIE MEIER ( Lucy Stone Mystery)
DEATH OF AN IRISH COFFEE DRINKER by LEE HOLLIS (Hayley Powell Mystery)
PERKED UP by BARBARA ROSS (Main Clambake Mystery)

Each author and series has its unique touch, but all include murder/mysteries, family, holidays, themes, chuckles, and the best way to spend one’s free time.

These were great additions to the series ( Yes, I have read every single one of each of the series). One does not have to read previous books to fall right in and fall in love.

I just loved this and cannot recommend it enough!

5/5 stars enthusiastically

Thank you NG and Kensington Publishing for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Instagram, and B&N accounts upon publication on 1/24/23.

"Irish Coffee Murder" consists of three novellas by three of my favorite authors, Leslie Meier. Lee Hollis. and Barbara Ross. This was a fun, quick read with some of my favorite main characters. I enjoyed all three novellas, but my favorite was Death by Irish Coffee, by Leslie Meier. My thanks goes to netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy!

I love all three of the authors that collaborated on Irish Coffee Murder.
Lucy Stone is my favorite character, she seems so genuine and down to earth. She'd do anything for her family, even though they drive her nuts at times. I would enjoy being her friend, but I don't want to see any dead bodies.
Hayley Powell is another favorite character, and I always look forward to catching up with her in new books.
In the third story, Julia Snowden hits the mark with a ghastly tale of a ghost story.
All there of these stories were well written and really had me wanting an Irish Coffee.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.

I absolutely love all these authors and love when they collaborate together and merge their short stories. Fun read!

I enjoyed the three stories in this book, especially the third one by Barbara Ross. They’re great takes on the Irish coffee. The characters are great. #IrishCoffeeMurder #NetGalley

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC of Irish Coffee Murder.

Three short stories for St. Patricks Day by three terrific cozy mystery authors. These stories follow the characters in each authors series. Each is delightful in it's own way. It is a fun way to celebrate the holiday and puts you right in the mood!

Irish Coffee Murder by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis and Barbara Ross 4 stars

A St. Patrick’s Day trio of short stories with a common denominator of Irish Coffee. All three authors feature their main sleuths (Lucy Stone, Haley Powell and Julia Snowden) around March mysteries. I enjoyed all of them, but of the three, Lee Hollis’s entry (Death of a Irish Coffee Drinker) was the one I liked the least. My favorite was “Irish Coffee Murder by Leslie Meier. So if you want a quick enjoyable read, settle in with a mug of Irish Coffee, put on a CD of Irish music for background and follow the trio on their investigative paths.

Thank you Netgalley and Kensington Books for this ARC.

These are fun stories written by talented authors. The book was sent to me by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher for an electronic copy. I like these authors and always enjoy the books they write. These characters are likable, and the stories move quickly. Enjoy.

When I think of cozy mysteries, I think of books just like this one, that gives all the feels, thrills and can satisfies just about every reader's heart. This is a perfect books to snuggle up with on any day.
