St. Patrick’s Day Mysteries (OR As Some Know It: St. Paddy’s Day Mysteries)

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, I thought I would update my list of mystery books that place during the season. While you take a look at the list, I wonder if you could see if I’m missing any St. Paddy’s Day mysteries. If I am, would you please post a comment so that I can add it (hopefully not “them”!) to the list.

  1. Hi again, Danna and fellow bloggers. I’m looking out at the (unusual for us here in Arkansas) icicles and snow since my computer faces a window. Have the first of my insurance series out and am working with a narrator on the second one so I’m glad the power hasn’t gone off (yet anyway). Hope everyone else is inside and warm and working too. Just got message from Amazon Murder as a Second Language by Joan Hess has been shipped.
    Stay warm and take care, Danna and fellow bloggers, Spring’s comin’!
    Cyber hugs u

  2. Wow! I never realised there were so many St Patrick’s Day themed mysteries! Well Done, Danna, for finding so many!!

    One tiny caveat… I would not call Nelson DeMille a cozy mystery. He’s really more of a thriller writer, like Tom Clancy or Wilbur Smith. Otherwise, as I said – Wow! : )

    • Susan*, when I started these holiday mystery lists I decided to include all mystery authors, not just Cozy Mystery authors. I thought that people might want to read holiday mystery books – regardless of whether they are Cozy or not.

    • Welcome to the Cozy Mystery site, Robin. I enjoy my holiday/seasonal mysteries, also.

  4. I’m already looking toward March and some good St. Patrick’s Day cozy mysteries. Are there any new books on the market with this theme?

  5. I love to theme-read by months but I think I’ve read just about everything available for St. Patrick’s Day. Even some good mysteries that take place in March would be great. All that I’ve found so far is Cherry Cheesecake Murder by Joanna Fluke. I need more!
