Description: As an American in Dublin, limo driver Megan Malone will need the luck of the Irish to avoid a head-on collision - with a killer....

Life has been nonstop excitement for American Army veteran Megan Malone ever since she moved to Ireland and became a driver for Dublin's Leprechaun Limousine Service. She's solved a murder and adopted two lovable Jack Russell puppies. Currently, she's driving world-class champion golfer Martin Walsh, and he's invited her to join him while he plays in a tournament at a prestigious Irish locale. Unfortunately, there's a surprise waiting for her on the course - a body floating in a water hazard.

Everyone loved golfer Lou MacDonald, yet he clearly teed off someone enough to be murdered. Martin seems to be the only one with a motive. However, he also has an alibi: Megan and hundreds of his fans were watching him play. Now, with a clubhouse at a historical lodge full of secrets and a dashing Irish detective by her side, Megan must hurry to uncover the links to the truth before the real killer takes a swing at someone else....

My Thoughts: Megan Malone finds herself involved in another murder investigation when the company she works for is hired to drive pro golfer Martin Walsh around while he is competing in Ireland. After dropping him off at the course, Megan finds the body of golfer Lou MacDonald floating in one of the water hazards. Despite jumping in after him and doing CPR, MacDonald is dead. 

Lou MacDonald was one of Martin Walsh's best friends and the loss is devastating for him and his new wife. Everyone loved Lou. Now if it was Martin who was murdered...

Lou and Martin were competing for the last spot on the European Ryder Cup team. Martin is a charming fellow as long as things go his way, but a real male chauvinist pig when things do not. His wife, also a pro golfer, is beginning to eclipse his talent which makes him jealous. And then there is Lou's daughter in the picture. She isn't a golfer, but an environmentalist concerned with a possible development that would ruin the local ecosystem. She also had a secret relationship with Martin before he married his current wife dumping her abruptly. 

Then the manager of the golf course is also murdered adding to the mystery. 

Megan finds herself "helping" the local police who don't really want her help, but she keeps happening to be in the right place at the right time or perhaps wrong place at the wrong time. 

This was an entertaining cozy mystery with a great main character. Megan has moved to Ireland after a military career and is busy building a new life and finding friends.
