Blurb

All journalist Jack Myers wants is a quiet Irish holiday.

Stepping away from the chaos of life as a foreign correspondent, he arrives at the elegant St Peter’s Manor on the shores of Lough Derg, hoping for rest, relaxation and a break from the headlines.

Instead, he finds himself caught in the middle of a murder investigation.

When a mysterious drowning interrupts the annual Midsummer Ball, Jack’s instincts tell him there is far more to the tragedy than meets the eye. As he begins asking careful questions, unsettling stories emerge: a commodore who vanished years earlier, childhood friendships built on secrets and a community determined to protect its past.

As Ireland’s longest heatwave intensifies, so do the tensions inside the village. The closer Jack gets to the truth, the more dangerous his search becomes.

Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and Graham Norton, Murder on Lough Derg is a smart, atmospheric cosy crime filled with twists, secrets and lakeside intrigue.
