Megan and pals are headed to an Irish Whiskey competition, but when one of the competitors drops dead things start looking dicey for the other competitors. Can Megan figure out who offed the competition and appears to be out for the others before another body hits the floor or will she be watching as her friends and loved ones become victims too? With bodies dropping and her personal life in turmoil, Megan needs to scramble if she is going to be able to sort the clues and save her relationships. The characters of this series are so well crafted that they feel as if they are standing next to you rather than just being read off a page. The plot of this story was woven tremendously well showing the angst of personal life while mixing the mystery of murder throughout the story. I am so absolutely engrossed in these characters that I am on pins and needles already waiting for the next book to come out so I can see what happens in Megan's life next! FYI: You really do need to read the entire series in order or you will be completely lost in the relationships and the backstory. Plus, it is hours of entertainment that you don't want to miss out on!

This latest outing in the ex-pat American living in Dublin, Megan Malone, mysteries takes place at an Ireland-wide whisky competition. Unfortunately, Megan’s uncle is implicated in the death of a rival distiller. As Megan tries to help him, her relationship with her girlfriend flounders as Megan, once again, involves herself in solving a whodunnit. I usually enjoy this series very much for the people, locations and the mysteries. This time, there was so much attention on Megan’s personal relationship and the accompanying depressing aspects of a break-up that I just didn’t enjoy this cozy that much. I look forward to the next in this series as Megan moves on.

3.5/5 ⭐️

The latest Dublin Driver mystery finds Megan involved in a murder that takes place at a whiskey festival. She especially must investigate as her uncle’s whiskey recipe was found in the dead man’s pocket.

This one was slower for me than others in this series. I still enjoyed it and we got a lot more characters along with Megan so it was fun to see those people involved. I do wish it had been spread out across more days so we could have maybe gotten more clues and sleuthing. But I am interested in where the next mystery will go as it seems like Megan’s friends Raf and Sara will be visiting from the states! I do like too that Megan is leaning more into solving the mysteries.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I honestly thought that this series would grow on me. That didn't end up being the case. So I know that that this one isn't one I will be continuing.

Megan is an expat American happy to be working for a limo service in Ireland since retiring 5 years ago (as a medic) after twenty years' service from the US army.
Megan is not happy with being called "The Murder Driver" in the news and several podcasts but she is stuck with it as a truth. It happens again at a whiskey contest and the sleuthing begins under a dark cloud. The publisher's blurb is pretty good, but the characters and plot twists are even better. This one isn't as hilarious as some of the others, but it's still four stars. I have read all of the previous books in series and loved each one.
I requested and received an EARC from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Megan Malone has taken some time off to support her Uncle and friends in a Whiskey competition. Unfortunately, murder didn’t get the memo, as another contestant is poisoned at the opening event. When the victim is found with the recipe to her uncles whiskey, in his hand, Megan knows she hast to step up and clear her uncles name.

Well, she be able to figure out who killed the man, or is this one shot too many for Meagan? Only time, and whiskey will tell.

Love cozy series set an another country? Even better is when an American protagonist leads the way. This serious is a definite must read for me. I love the strength of Megan, as well as all of the supporting characters and puppies, Dip and Wad who help her along each and every day in their own ways. A solid mystery and a great read each and every time.

Death by Irish Whiskey was an okay read but I just could not love this book like I had wanted to. The mystery part of this book was confusing and the plot was hard for me to follow. I will say though that this is my first time reading this author and this series so I could be confused due to not reading the series in order. I would give this author a second chance and read another one of her books. At the end of the book I still did not understand who killed who or why. For me the amount of relationships was also too many and hard to follow as well. I would still recommend this book to other cozy mystery readers. Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for this ARC read in exchange of my honest review.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 23rd Jan 2024. I thoroughly enjoyed this book I enjoyed the clues throughout which I thought I figured it out but I was wrong!

My favourite character was Megan I loved her witty sense of humour. Overall, a great book with lots of twists and turns!

#DeathbyIrishWhiskey #NetGalley is the latest in this series featuring Megan Malone, A limo driver with the ability to trip over dead bodies then help solve a murder.
I usually love these books, but this one fell a bit flat.
Usually there's a lot of chuckles as I read these books, and I didn't find it in this story.
Life is changing for Megan and I hope the next book is better.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.

I’ve loved this series but unfortunately I didn’t love this one story. It seems to focus on the relationship between Megan and her girlfriend most of the time. I found the whole investigation and setting a bit convoluted and confusing. They were running around in circles. I didn’t fully understand who killed who and why, too many different relationships going on. I hope for better in the next one. #DeathbyIrishWhiskey #NetGalley

I received a free copy of, Death by Irish Whiskey, by Catie Murphy, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is book 3 of 4 in The Dublin Driver Mysteries. American Cherise Williams believes herself to be of Irish royalty, she goes over to have her DNA tested and is murdered. This was an interesting read.

Death By Irish Whiskey is another book in the cozy series of Megan, the limo driver.

A contest is to take place and Megan's uncle and friend are part of the event.
When one of the celebrity contestants dies, they are thought to be the suspects.

Megan had promised her girlfriend that she wouldn't get involved in sleuthing anymore, but with the suspects being a friend and family, she has no choice.

Another good one in the cozy mystery series set in Ireland. Megan drives a limo for a service in Dublin, and after finding and helping to solve so many murders she is getting quite the reputation. Overall I did like this one, and following the clues was fun. Didn't really feel like all the gay aspects was needed, but might just be me. Overall though, would still recommend.
